[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 414699, member: 805"] Jena, I agree with Terry. A diagnosis of ms usually happens after everything else has been exhausted. An MRI and ultimately a spinal tap are necessary. My sister, who started home injections within a week of being diagnosis, has not lost any significant neurological function yet. She religiously does the injections, except when she was prego with my nephew 2.5 years ago. She is fully functional - chasing after her 2.5 year old son, keeping up with her 18 and 16 year old daughters, maintaining chickens, horses and goats, and working full time as the second in charge of finance for a large university here in my state!! Yeah, she is fully functional! As far as I know, medication use is a total must with MS. It can prevent major "episodes" which can result in deterioration and it keeps the lesions down. That's not to say that my sister is symptom free, but it is definitely kept to a minimum by exercise, stress relief (she does yoga), a healthy diet, and medication. But, just with any other disorder or disease, everyone manifests differently. Sharon [/QUOTE]
