At the risk of sounding a bit soppy, I just wanted to say Thankyou, to all those who have offered kind words of support, wisdom and encouragement during the short time I have been on here. You have got me through some questionable points, and undoubtedly, will be there to get me through more. But more importantly, as I sit and read through the newcomers threads, unable to give any constructive advice, I feel very humble and thankful on all our behalf, for your sincere kindness!
THANKYOU!

A quick note for the comments everybody has made. I am sat here in tears for two resons, the first is the response I have got from the members and I must say thankyou these are tears of releif and know that there are people here that can help, the second reason that I think that i am ready to accept this.
Since i came out of hospital i decided that this was not real and would go away, i had a sick note for work but got straight back into it visiting customers etc. I tried my best and have just been told by the company that they do not want me involed at all untill i am better. This is a relief in one way because i have been working from home on the laptop and ended up being in so much pain with my eyes, when i try to rest my work mobile is ringing 20-30 times a day. this has made me realise how important it is to rest up at first and i know there are many newly diognosed people will have the same.
It is a blow at first but you need to keep strong and let friends and family help, keep strong and the MonSter will be under control.
If anybody is in the same situation then it is good to talk and soon the MonSter is a sympton shared and is not something that you feel alone with

I know everyone is in the same posisition dx or not ..and i know the NHS has long waiting lists etc.. but i think its awful how when you get new symptoms/pain/numbness how we are left to deal with it until next appointment with neuro..
If it was'nt for other people to chat to on these forums etc and doing your own research i think i would be a wreck... i phoned my GP to explain about my pain/spasms have now gone and my foot is left numb.. ask if it was normal and anything i could do to help myself and was just told to keep taking meds and wait to see neuro end of month for my results.. i think its awful to leave people not knowing what to do next.. Wondering if your doing something wrong and making things worse for yourself..
I would like to say a BIG THANKYOU to all the new friends ive made and for all the help they have given ..
