https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing Hi friends. Well, I was officially diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have several lesions on my brain including some active ones. I will be given a steroid infusion to calm those down and then will start a twice a day medication, luckily in pill form.
The active lesions are likely causing the numbness still in my hands so I have hope that will go away after the steroids.
With the medication it will prevent some relapses and slow disability progression. So far I have no lasting effects besides what the active lesions are causing.
Ive been told that heat will be my worst enemy, that any symptoms will be worse if Im overheating. Im worried about that with fursuiting but theres plenty of cooling methods fursuiters use.
I am more afraid of the side effects of the medications and making sure my insurance will approve them.
Otherwise life is normal. Im on track with my queue and my psych meds are working fine. Ill keep everyone updated if theres any changes or symptoms affecting my ability to work.

Stress is a thing you particular want to avoid as best you can when possible.
It might be worth looking at more natural remedies and cannabis based medicines as they help relieve symptoms and slow the progression. In the UK we have one called Sativex, but you have to be practically bed bound to be allowed to have it on prescription.
My mother tried a treatment where they put stents in your jugular veins, I believe it was called CCSVI which improved her condition, but only temporarily.
She also used to have Copaxone injections just incase she suffered an "attack" but she hasn't had one or taken them for a few years now.
Best of luck and support with the road ahead!
Still a low sugar lifestyle helps prevent cancer.
My 'Journey' with this vile disease is nearing its end, for which I am very grateful.
I hope and pray you receive all the proper medical support and care needed.
Im happy to hear that you’re doing okay, though!
