Newly dx'd

[desertprincess]

This is my first post here (I think). I read the article "Isolation" and it spoke directly to me. I've been sick for a really long time (chronic pain, IBS, b12 deficient), but finally got in to a good doc. Now I am trying to manage my symptoms and sort out what is from the MS, what is from the meds I'm on, etc.
I have alot of questions but I will search them up first. I hope to find some new friends here because this disease is taking me over.

This is the right place to search for MS information. Happy to see that you found us. I see you have had some testing done on your vitamin deficiencies. Good things to know. When a doctor hands you a 'blood test' form, make sure you get your vitamin D levels checked. Always ask if there is another element / level that can be tested. There a so many blood tests that you need to keep current and corrected that your medical team needs to be really vigilant. Good luck

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. Sudden fatigue and heat intolerance are my biggest symptoms right now. Like to to the point that a day that I go online and look for info on MS is a good day. Besides that, I'm just laying on my bed with a fan on me.
