Hello I too am recently diagnost, Help!
Posted: Sat May 09, 2009 7:03 am
Well actually I had an MRI w/out contrast and they found some lesions so now I am on to an MRI w/contrast and possibly more tests after that. My Mom was dx about 15 years ago after possibly having MS for 15 years prior. I have watched her struggle and been scared to death that the same thing would be my fate. I am 35 and in my late 20s I started working out obsessively to maybe, possibly prevent it. Well 8 years later I find myself facing the biggest fear of my life, depressed and scared to death.
I think the hardest part is that this all feels really out of my control. Which leads me to my question. I already workout, cardio, weight lifting and pilates. I have been going to a nutritionist and watching what I eat for the past 7 years (I was on a high protein diet for like 6.5 of these and recently switched to a 60g carb, 40g protein and 20g fat diet now) and take a multivitamin. The dr talked about copaxil but what I am wondering is what else everyone has found to be helpful and that we can do to also help prevent it all from getting worse.
Thank you so much for any advise you can give me!
