Hi all!
in September2015, after getting my daughter to College and other stressors,I started having blurred vision in my left eye. The Ophthalmologist found an inflamed optic nerv. That's how it all started. Within five month I have seen a Neuroophthalmologist who ordered MRI's of Brain and Spine w/wo contrast. Long story short, first they thought I had a brain tumor because the lesion was a tumorfactive one which means large looking like a tumor and I also had word finding difficulty and major brain fog. They decided it was inflammatory,follow up MRI showed big lesion resolved almost completely but a new lesion was found. Then referral to Neurologist specialist in MS on February 4th. After all other exclusion through blood work, he diagnosed me with MS and wants me to start DMD.
it is a complete shock to me!! The reason why? Because I'm the Caregiver of my Husband who has MS for over 20 years! How is this possible?. Thanks for listening, would love the support of other people.

What a shock that must've been to be diagnosed with MS as well! Good luck choosing a DMD. There are certainly more choices than 20 years ago! Does your husband take one? How is doing? Please know everyone has their own unique course of MS as well.
, as was already stated, every case of MS is different. But you probably already know some of these things. You came to the right place for support, if anything is on your mind just say whatever it is. I wish you nothing but the best!
