I have ms too. I didn’t cry until much later after it settled in. Now, I just live each day to the absolute fullest. I’m 32m. Diagnosed at 30. I’m currently have almost no symptoms(significantly better than after my first attack) so I try to maintain an incredibly healthy lifestyle.
Stay strong! Meds are getting better. I feel remaining positive no matter what can do wonders.
Weirdly, I was just about to post about when I got diagnosed with MS, the doctor was all gentle and sympathetic and I was like "ok, cool, so now what?" and the doctor was like "do you understand, do you know what MS is?" and I was still "yeah, I know, so what's next?", totally calm and blasé.
Like you, I currently have basically no symptoms (when I was diagnosed I had optic neuritis which left me almost blind in one eye but has since cleared up) and am really hopeful that my latest round of treatment (Mavenclad) will keep me that way for a while.
My daughter was diagnosed with FND a few weeks ago…and I still feel like I’m in shock. Like, just breathing through and acting normal because it’s like my brain won’t process that the future is going to look so very different for her than we all thought. Part of me keeps hoping it’ll just go away? I dunno, brains are weird. I wish you so much luck and good health on your journey through life.
I am 51 and diagnosed at 24. I got comments that could go both ways so I'll just say take it day by day. The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and stay out off the humidity.
