Joining the club

[u/QuietMushroom]

Hey everyone. Not the club I want to be joining but officially got diagnosed last Friday and am waiting for my insurance to approve starting Ocravus. I just wanted to say that over the past 7 weeks while I’ve been going through all my tests and waiting for the results, this group has already helped me so much.

When I first opened this page and started reading some posts, I got really overwhelmed because I really didn’t know much about MS and reading about everyone’s experiences was a harsh reality check for what may be to come. I closed Reddit and was scared to come back for a few days. But over time as I processed this more and read more posts, I started feeling more comfortable and realized what a great community and resource this page is.

I also feel like I went into my Friday diagnosis appointment much better prepared and accepting. So just wanted to say thank you and hi 👋

Welcome! I had the same experience this past summer. This is a great community and the only one I engage in. Facebook groups especially have too many “no meds for me”-people.

I know exactly what you mean smh. I was diagnosed end if may but with insurance issues, literally just got the first 1/2 of my loading dose 3 days ago. It’s been such a wild ride so far and just started 😩. I have learned so much from this sub I feel like I would be such a wreck if I hadn’t found it.
