Hi there 
I am new to this site. I was diagnosed in the summer of 2010 I went to the er with double vision.They did a cat scan,MRI,and a spinal tap. Then told me to see a neurologist. Turns out I had MS and have 5 lesions on my brain. When I was first diagnosed I went into a study for a new pill form drug. It was a great program but I ended it in Dec. 2011 In the hopes of becoming pregnant. I did not get pregnant and instead gained a ton more weight. I never went back on meds for my MS. I haven't had any issues that I know of.However I am just now learning of other symptoms and things that MS can do to you. I have OCD,depression and anxiety. I also am very overly sensitive and then I get really laughy and hyper. I thought maybe I was bi-polar however none of my doctors or therapist think I am. I never knew that MS could affect these things. And now Im wondering how much of my issues is because of the MS. Me and my family were very worried when I was diagnosed however I kind of just ignored it for a while. I thought that if its not affecting me why should I worry. However I do feel that I need to educate myself about MS. And now Im already learning that its probably been affecting me this whole time. Any advise would be appreciated
