Hi Everyone,
My name is Leti and I do not have MS but my sister was recently diagnosed with MS. She is having a hard time adjusting to these news and so is my family. I am a medical student but I only know so much about MS. She will be starting on Copaxone next week. She has been experiencing back pain, face pain,optic neuritis, headaches once in a while, and fatigue. Right now she is struggling with deciding if she should continue with her dreams of becoming a lawyer. I keep telling her that MS should not stop her from becoming a lawyer. But she's afraid short/long term memory loss will affect her with continuing her studies. She is experiencing some short term memory loss but nothing bad, I keep telling her to continue reading and learning new things to exercise the brain. I was wondering if someone can advice me on what I should tell her about her future career? Or is there any other careers she should be following instead?
I am from the San Diego area. My sister is 22 years old.
