Re: Multiple Sclerosis, Diagnosed For 5 Months, Two Attacks

The link below is also some really good info for the newly diagnosed. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society website is a great place to look around. I go there often.

I was diagnosed only 1 1/2 years ago, and it all still feels new to me too. Your being diagnosed early is a really good thing. I suffered from relapses and symptoms for about 15 years before my diagnosis. I felt so crazy during that time of my life, not knowing what was wrong. They just didn't consider MS "back then".
