New here and diagnosed with MS

Nice to meet you, I am new here and would like to say hello! I was diagnosed with MS last month. My flare ups consists of body numbness that slowly progresses until it decides to stop. I am still trying to learn the triggers for my flare ups. I worry about my future because I am going to school to become a dental assistant and hopefully a future dental hygienist. I worry that my hands are going to fail me more down the road since I’m only 19 right now. Very scary stuff

I have been on Copaxone for 8 years! No problems except a little numbness.

We are all kind of in the same place in our journey. This whole year has been one giant roller coaster! Last year I wasn't taking any medication, and now I have 7. I know what it's like to be scared. I have a lot of bad days, but I look forward to and savor the good days I have. The best advice I have so far is keep moving, take your meds, and don't give up! You are not alone!

All of this is very scary and you think you life is done but I went through the same thing and it’s not what you think. I was (past tense) in a wheel chair and now I am looking for a job and all kinds of amazing things. You’ll find out that like certain temps and my ADD makes life alittle harder but that what my meds are for I don’t really have tremors anymore because of my treatment ( Retoxin) and most of all my gabapetin ( which specifically for my tremor’s)is what helped me . I’m so sorry honey for how this is infecting you but you are young and have all the time to glow up .
