[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 426144, member: 7948"] Hi Jena - I'm sorry to hear your news. It must be scary even though it's a relief to finally have a diagnosis. My brother in law has MS. He is enrolled in a clinical trial and has been on medications a long time. At least 10 years. His MS is completely in remission. He works full time on a road crew in the Sierra mountains - heavy work. Plus he hunts (bow and firearms) and fishes - as far as I can tell (and he will admit to) he is not modifying his lifestyle at all because of MS. He does say the day he does his medications (I don't know which one he's on but it's a weekly injection) he feels a little tired. That's it. So I hope that you get into full remission and your symptoms go away completely. Given your lack of health insurance - did the neurologist talk to you about enrolling in a clinical trial? We've done several clinical trials, some interventional where you get a particular medication, others observational that just track info. Clinical trials usually provide all condition-related medical care for free. So if it's something you'd consider talk to your doctor about it. Here's a link to a list of open interventional clinical trials in New York. If you want more info on being in a clinical trial just ask.
