This is my first time on a forum and I am new to the MS world. I have been told recently by my neurologist that he is 70% certain I have MS, but he can't say for sure until I have another MRI. So with that in mind I am attempting to educate myself. I found this site, and am glad I did. Does anyone have suggestions as to where I begin this journey of discovery?

Hello TomD,

Hello TomD
Welcome to the MS World Forums!
There is a ton of info at the NMSS site that Snoopy suggested. If you're in to hard copies, you can find the local chapter of the National MS Society in your area and obtain brochures, etc.
I think you'll learn alot browsing these forums too.
Let us know what you find out when you get your MRI results. We're here for sharing experiences, info, and support.
Best Wishes!
Take care,

Tom, one thing to be careful of- don't sell yourself into new symtoms.
Definatly do the research into the "mechanics" of the disease, just understand that its NOT about having symptoms A, B, and C and if you don't have those symptoms then it must be something else.Comment
