there are people who are doing fine after 30 yrs. of being diagnosed, so i am sure things will go fine for you. remember you have two things statistically going for you: you are woman and you were diagnosed before 40. i am just the opposite.
Depression, Fatigue, pain, weakness, clumsiness, are some of the things i am fighting now. i am missing alot of work. i just get so tired.
did you ever do the steroid thing? i was given 3 doses of IV steroids in my home and then took prednisone orally for 10 days. it really messed me up. i was hyper, and then i was so tired i could not get up. some people can do fine w/ steroids, but not me. they really freaked me out. the Rebif isn't too bad. i have gotten used to it pretty well, except that the depression has worsened. thus the two cymbaltas a day.
before i became a Christian in 1980, i used to do drugs: speed, acid, marijuana, coke, etc., now i am afraid to take painkillers for the pain and the things to make me less tired like stimulants.
