Glad to have found this site! I was just diagnosed with MS three weeks ago. It was something so completely unexpected as the symptoms were only going on for a few months. I took my first injection of Avonex this past Saturday. I knew absolutely nothing about MS when I was told it was a possible that I had it. I think its still a bit shocking when I think about it. I'm trying not to do the whole "why me" thing. It amazes me how many people I've talked to who know someone with MS. I have never met anyone with it until now. Or maybe I have and just didn't know it. Its been a little scary trying to figure out who to tell and who not to tell about my diagnoses. I was very hesitant to tell my employer not knowing if they would drop me from the insurance or not. Thankfully they have been very supportive.
Any advice anyone can give about what type of exercise is good to get involved in? I used to be very active at the gym until the symptoms came on, now its been several months since I have been able to do much. That's probably been the most frustrating thing for me. I lost a lot of muscle and feel just weak.
Thanks for reading, have a fantastic day!!
Julie
