I was recently diagnosed 4 days ago. My MS specialist said on average, it takes 4 years to get a definitive diagnosis. My first MS sign was January of this year, so my diagnosis took 9 months, not sure if this is a blessing or a curse.
My doctor was originally going to start me on Copaxone, however my MRI Wednesday showed so much new activity, especially on my c-spine, he decided to start me on Betaseron instead. He is concerned because it appears to be progressing rapidly.
Because I am in the midst of a flare I will be doing IV steroids this week and should also be getting my Betaseron supplies and training. This has moved so quickly it's a little overwhelming and very scary!
i looked on the Betaseron board but didn't see much current info, anyone have any tips for what to expect?
