Hello everyone, this is my first time here. After many years I finally have dx of rrms and will be starting copaxone soon.
When I think back the symptoms began when i was about 17, I didn't seek medical attention until my mid 20's I am now 47. It has been a long trip and I hadn't expected a dx. I just can't understand why it took so long to get a dx. The new doc that i'm seeing said that there were lesions in my brain and spinal mri years ago. I was told that the mri's were neg.
Over the years i have had many bouts of optic neuritis and many other symptons. I think that i am more angry that was no dx for so long than being upset about having ms. I have been to so many doctors and been told that it was many different things including that it was all in my head. I even doubted myself and believed that it was in my head. I want to let everyone out there who is searching for dx not to give up like i did.
