F/26, Newly Diagnosed 11-1-2013, on Gilenya

[amberfer]

Hi! I've had my diagnosis for a month and a half; I've been on Gilenya for two weeks, and I'm female, happily married, and 26 years old.

I was reluctant to join a message board; I was afraid it would be just a lot of symptom comparing, like one person says "my legs are so weak I can hardly walk," and another person responds, "oh, that's nothing - my legs are so weak I can't even stand."

My goals are to keep up-to-date on Gilenya and talk with others who are experiencing "feelings" (I just started, haha), and especially to hear from spouses how their husband/wife's diagnosis and disease has affected them, as I'm concerned for my husband.

I think a forum for help which just turns into a slinging match of who's worse will get everyone nowhere.

Though i have little advice to say about the relationship side of things due to being sort of halfway in mine.

Though i have found honesty has helped me immensely.
