I had to write you when I read your note.  Please don't give up!! You can still have all your dreams.  I was diagnosed @ 41 @ that time I was getting married for the first time in my life in 6 mos and finally (after a long time coming) graduating from college with my B.S. degree all while holding down a full time job.  I was ill off & on x 6 mos, and 2 mos after I got married had a major attack that put me down for 3 mos and disabled me off & on for a year. I was told that I had progressive disease and would be in a wheelchair in a year, well...... I found an amazing acupuncturist / holistic dr.who believed in me and started treating me with diet and acupuncture along with my M.S. regimen, in 6 mos. and I am not kidding you I went into remission that lasted for 8 years, I did not exercise all I did was take vitamins she gave me and change my diet( now that was hard). You have your whole life in front of you, my disease started as relapsing remitting and now 10 years later I have progressive disease.  I have a tough time now, but I refuse to listen to anyone who says I can't do something.  When I first got sick I pushed everyone away from me because they didn't understand the numbness, pain, fatigue, but after doing all I could for myself and actually seeing a difference in 68 days and going off most of my meds except my shots I had hope again.  It  was worth all the $ in the world to feel better (that's why God made credit cards)  Don't give up kiddo, even now as bad as I feel I know I will make it through.  God is cool but God is in you and you can't let this disease change who or what you want in your life. Therapy really helped me and the one thing the therapist said that saved my life was, "Stop worrying about what you can't do and start focusing on all the things you still can do"  That really changed the way that I thought I wish you luck. You will be o.k. don't ever ever give up.. Laura
