Journal Entry for February 20, 2008 Mood

Wednesday, February 20, 2008

Novantrone,is what they want me to start,it's the only thing my neuro has offered,had an appt with MS nurse today,very confused,and upset,i cried all the way through the meeting.

She also wants to refer me to a psyco-therapist,because she said i am showing obvious signs of depression,and need help accepting that i have MS.

Of course i'm depressed,16 weeks ago,this all started,referal from gp,mri scans,lumbar puncture,steriod drip,and dx. And now this treatment,all this info in 16 weeks,

I've read the info sheet they gave me,i'm scared.

Hug caronld

yep, you can admit ur terrified! when i finally expressed my disbelief it felt more acceptable. have only been dx 6 weeks or so. i felt ripped-off!!!!! my sister-in-law said to me "Bad things happen to good people too, and you are a good person". a compliment that took away the need to ask "what did i do wrong?". my son(17) was tested for ms last year and was cleared...i hoped to get same outcome, and was mortified to get told no escape clause for me!!! get hold of an ms book and start to see how ur body reacts to foods etc. order vitamins, try anything within reason. most of all, know that ur not crying alone, when you're sitting in bed at 3am worrying, imagine a whole bunch of people handing you tissues. thinking of you...Angela
