A member asked:
Is it normal to sleep a lot when first diagnosed with ms?

More history: If it developed just after being diagnosed then it might just be your reaction to the diagnosis, as you would have already had the MS for some time before that.

In some cases: The diagnosis of MS can be both frightening and depressing, and your response to sleep more, is not so unusual. Reassure yourself, and work closely with your neurologist, and make certain that you are taking a potent stabilizing medication.
