I have Primary Progressive MS. It took 2 years and 12 different specialists to get diagnosed in 2008.

What keeps me going is a bracelet I wear that says, "Never give up. Never surrender."

After my spinal, I had a headache for about 5 days that made me want to die. Sometimes the tests are worse than the disease.

Hang in there and try to just stay in the moment while you just keep moving forward.
