[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 426058, member: 805"] Jena, MWM mentioned something great - a local support group would be of great benefit to you! They may even know about some drug companies who assist folks who can't pay for medications, know some of the cutting edge information on treatment, etc. When my sister was first diagnosis'd ten years ago, one of the first things her doctor did was give her the names of a coupe of his patients who had been living with MS for a little while. Apparently those folks had given permission to speak to newly diagnosis'd patients of the doctor. It was a great help to my sis and hooked her up with a support system. Also, my sister belongs to the MS society (not sure if that's the right name, but something like that), and she gets monthly newsletters with tons of great information. Just for informational purposes - there is a much higher rate of vitamin B12 deficiency in folks with MS and that deficiency can exacerbate symptoms (make you feel worse). Glad you finally got some answers and can now begin to treat your symptoms. Sharon [/QUOTE]
