Hi everyone. After two years of strange symptoms and many scans of my brain, I have been diagnosed with MS. My doctor said it does not seem to be an extremely progressive form and has given me a good prognosis. He wants me to start a round of IV solu-medrol and then in two weeks, I go into his office to talk about treatment options. This is a lot of information really quickly. I have about a thousand feelings right now.
I'm worried about what this will mean for my family (I have a five month old son), I'm worried the medications will have really bad side effects, I am relieved that I wasn't just going completely insane, and I feel better knowing I can now do something to stop these symptoms from getting worse (hopefully). My doctor said he would prefer to start me on one of the oral medications. I am very naive about the types of medicine and am going to be doing some research.
Also, I am breastfeeding. My pediatrician has said it is completely ok to take the solu-medrol while breastfeeding. Anyone out there a new mom with MS who has breastfed while on treatment?
