Officially Official

I have officially been given the diagnosis of clinically isolated syndrome (monosymptomatic MS). Which means that the doc thinks I have MS, but a clinical diagnosis cannot be made until I have another episode. My brain MRI showed mild lesions, and combined with the swelling in my spine and my symptoms I guess that's enough evidence for my diagnosis. Since I am still breastfeeding Emma, we have decided that I will supplement with Calcium and Vitamin D until I am done, and then we will consider starting treatment which involves a weekly injection with some possible yucky side effects.

I'm bummed.
