welcome syndi, its a great place here, very supportive. Im like you proactive 100% since and before my dx of MS. I dont know much about the menthal health issues, but sometimes i do get depressed...
yep your right, it is scarey, and yes some cases are very severe, but the sooner meds are started the better, thats what i think and most of us here think that too. I am aware of the fact that,...

My gut feeling is to start meds as soon as i get a new neuro. I too feel that why wait until another lesion appears. Haven't we all been told early detection is the key in most diseases anyhow. Im...
