Newly Diagnosed
For some people, a diagnosis of MS means relief ... at last they have an explanation for the symptoms they have been experiencing for months or even years. For others, it can be an anxious time as they struggle to understand what this will mean for the future.
Misconceptions about the disease can sometimes make diagnosis a more frightening experience than it need be - people often assume that a high level of disability always occurs with MS.
