I am on my way to the airport headed for Singapore to get an MRI in the morning before I see my doctor on Monday morning. I have been on Rebif for six months after a bad attack in February led to my MS diagnosis.
I had three new, minor symptoms that lasted for three weeks and then went away. So the neurologist thought we should do an MRI to see if there were any changes and if maybe I needed to try a different DMD.
I am feeling what is the point? From what I read MRI's don't tell us a lot and I have been feeling really good lately, except for my numb tongue. If my results come back with more lesions it will stress me out and cause me to worry even though right now I am feeling better than I have since my diagnosis. I am hoping for unchanged and maybe that will give me some relief from the anxiety I feel not knowing what is happening in my brain.
I am 7 months post diagnosis, does it every get to where it doesn't consume all your thoughts or where things like your hands falling asleep form an awkward position don't cause sheer panic?
