Multiple sclerosis : First, I wish you will get better and get over this disease, and that can't be achieved without specialists supervision, neurologists and other physicians, and taking medications prescribed according to your stage / severity of the disease, if questioning the diagnosis, get a second opnion. If really anxious / depressed seek psychiatric help, but don't just stay put, good luck

The diagnosis of MS can be scary, but with medication you can prevent or slow the onset of ultimate disability. There are numerous very potent and excellent meds these days, self injections, intravenous infusions, and for the "needle phobic", oral medications. Get adjusted to your diagnosis and employ treatment, as the potential of a crippling outcome without meds is very real.
