So I got a call form my Neurologist on Monday. She said that she has had a meeting with other neurologists, discussed my case and they are all in agreement that my MRI looks very much like MS.
This was not a surprise to me, but I am still finding it a hard pill to swallow. I think I was a little in denial before and now, well I do not know really what it means for me. Will I lead a normal life, will MS take over my life. When will I get the symptoms again? At the moment I feel 'normal', but how long will that last?
I guess the only good news that can come of this is that I can can go ahead and try for a baby again. There are a few other tests that need to be run for further confirmation, but pregnancy apparently makes signs of MS go away. Now all I have to do is get pregnant! I will call the clinic and get my FET booked for September, my neurologist has given me the OK for September! It seems so long away, but I guess it is only 2 months! Gives me time to get myself into shape a little more.

Wow! I'm so sorry for your MS diagnosis. I guess you knew it was coming, but still...hearing confirmation is scary. :( You seem to be handling yourself really well, considering everything. I'm very anxious for your FET in September! Goodness, God needs to hear our prayers and bless you with a pregnancy! Thinking about you. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the MS diagnosis. I don't know if you've seen it, but some good research out of Canada just got published about MS and pregnancy and how safe it actually is: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/ms-moms-pregnancy-outcomes-similar-other-women-b-040815953.html
