Hello everyone!
I have been lurking here for months now and thought I would finally say hi. I was just diagnosed with relapsing remitting ms this morning. its crazy because I was expecting the diagnosis but hearing the words out loud had me speechless.
I originally started with this about 6 months ago with headaches. I had an MRI of the brain and it showed I have 6 lesions. I had a lumbar puncture which showed high levels of inflammation. I received iv steroids which calmed things down a lot.
i had repeat scans which showed that I now have over 30 lesions in my brain and too many to count in my cervical region(I progressed pretty quickly)
My neurologist and I went over medications and I’ve decided on Copaxone. I am of child bearing years so this seemed like the best fit for me.
I just wanted to say hi to you all!
ps I’m 31 and living in Chicago(I probably should have added that in the beginning of this post ha)
