Looking for someone

I am in the process of being diagnosed with MS. According to my doctor there's a good chance that it isn't MS, but I have been dealing with this on my own since May. I was suffering from migraines, so my neurologist had me get an MRI just to make sure there was nothing wrong, and the doctors found 7 lesions on my brain. I have been scared, but only have recently let myself admit that to myself. I just need someone who I can talk to so I can feel less alone.

thanks, i just started to feel so lonely tonight. It's a day to day thing about how I'll feel about it because I really don't have any symptoms, or any symptoms that I'm aware of. So usually it kind of just comes up all of the sudden.

That's the worst. When you just have time to think...your head gets filled with what ifs.

yeah, the what ifs get me every time...and I don't really have any friends that I can talk to about it, I just don't think they understand, or i just don't trust them to understand.

That's why DS is such a great place. You can always find someone who's been through something very similiar.

yeah I could only see those three too. I never did find the other four that my neurologist and the MRI technician found, it must have been on a different scan image

Hi Brenni, do you know if your doctor is going to do anymore test. My diagnosis was confirmed by a spinal tap. I remember the stage you are in just needing to know. You are not alone and you have come to the right place! Take care and keep us updated.......Nancy

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
