Hi I'm a newbie, this is my first day on MSWorld.
I am Tiffany, 29 years old, live in Louisville Ky., & was diagnosed RRMS this past March.
I started with symptoms almost 4 years, the worst of it happening in the past year or so. Kept having real bad spells of dizziness and kept getting diagnosed with vertigo and labrynthitis.
Finally got a cat scan last June, where a couple of spots were seen and I was told to get an MRI. Being a poor girl with no insurance and only having a doctor at a "free" clinic, it took me 6 months to get a referral for the MRI. After the MRI(the spots had went up to 12) it took another 5 months to get the diagnosis and that only happened because I had a bad relapse that landed me in the ER, where I had another MRI, 4 days of steroids, and was diagnosed.
Since getting out of the hospital I did a ton of research, started going to a Neurologist, started Rebif, and still learning how to get use to this new life that has been given to me.
On the none medical side - I love music, movies, & books more than most people a.k.a I am a nerd and proud of it :P I am raising my 5 year old nephew, and want to start learning sign language soon.
I will now go venture around and see what else is on here
