MS resources wanted

The MRI showed lesions in the ocular region of Nixie's brain. The doctor at that hospital said he thinks it's MS. I don't know whether they have to run more tests to be sure? I don't know much at this point.

They transferred her to another hospital with a neurologist on staff. She'll stay there for three days of steroid treatment. We're trying to decide whether Mungo or I or both of us should go be with her. I'm better at emotional support, but he's pretty good, and also not afraid of driving an unfamiliar car in an unfamiliar city. Also he's a nurse, so better at getting information from medical people.

Tell me what you know about MS. Good resources about living with chronic illness in general also appreciated.

I'm afraid I don't have any resources, but I did go to grad school with a girl who had an MS diagnosis (probably at about the same age, actually) and who started taking meds for it and found a lot of relief from her symptoms. Thinking good thoughts for Nixie and the family. <3
