I am new to this forum, just like a lot more others.
I was diagnosed with MS on Friday, 15th of January 2010 at 12:30pm at the age of 23. My experience with MS has not been too traumatic thus far as my initial symptoms began on August 31st, 2009 and less than 4 months later, 2 episodes and 3 MRIs, i was diagnosed. My episodes only included numbess and tingling of my limbs, with the occassional weather intolerance. I am currently awaiting the nurse to arrive at 11am tomorrow to show me how to administer copaxone safely as I have no idea how to even begin it.
Just a little background on me, I've completed a degree on Neuro-science - including in depth study on MS and how it is diagnosed and treated. I've also written many case studies on MS patients I was required to assess, but I have now come to realise that what is taught in universities is only a small window into the heterogeneous nature of this disease.
What I have learnt in my university studies is that we are very lucky to be living in an era of MS treatments. Many friends have suffered greatly to this disease due to treatments being 20 years too late for them. Be positive my friends, for we are in this together, we will never be alone!
I look forward to meeting you all xox
later here I am. Its very comforting talking to people who are going through the same thing!
