Hi Sue,
I am so sorry about your recent diagnosis of MS, and after 5 years with TM. I can also understand your depression and fatigue and overwhelming feelings. It is hard to understand and even harder to *accept* I'm glad you admitted that you are in denial for the time being. That just makes you human. I have only had TM 3.5+ years and quite honestly I have put MS on the back burner because I have also felt *safe* after this much time. However, we hear many stories right here on the TMIC that prove otherwise.
Please give yourself time to adjust to this new diagnosis. I hope you have a great neurologist who will start you on aggressive MS meds to keep any progression at a snails pace. They have come a long way with treating MS and I know you will do very well - you just need some time for it to sink in. (Then take the bull by the horns and take control! You can do it).
Hugs - Take care and be sure to let all of us know how you are doing. The entire TM family is here for you!
Linda in Bothell, WA
