Did you just get diagnosed?
I have a friend who has been complaining about numbing arms and fatigue and has been diagnosed with a bunch of different things over the years. I suggested that many of her symptoms sounded like MS for many years, and she was never even enteraining the idea.
Well, last night she called. She had a spinal and the white blood cells showed up and that was one of the nearest conclusive evidence that she had that she does have in fact have Multiple Sclerosis.
She freaked.
“Where do I go? What do I do? What book should I read?”
It’s not the first time I’ve cut and pasted these links and these URLs to people I know who got diagnosed with MS.
Don’t despair, there’s plenty of information out there. And, most of the sites are good, if not repetitious.
Need help? Have questions? Trying to find overall information about the illness, then these are some good starting points.
This is by no means a comprehensive list, but I will continue to be adding to this list and categories.
- National Multiple Sclerosis Society
- Multiple Sclerosis Association of America
- Multiple Sclerosis Central
- Multiple Sclerosis Help
- Multiple Sclerosis Health Center
- National Institute of Neurological Disorders
- Med Help MS Community
- MS on About.com
- MS & the Mayo Clinic
- Medicine Net.com
