I was recently diagnosed with MS..just put my script in and will be starting copaxone..I am nervous and didn't expect the reaction I've had (emotionally). All in all tho, I think I will get thru it. My 9 year old had a big breakdown the other day..said se's afraid and doesn't know what's going to happen when I start the needles. I explained it would make me better kinda. I'm wondering if the MS society or someone can tell me how to get her someone that can talk to her. I have reading material and we've talked..but I think she may need more

Hi Rivernb my daughter is 13 years old and it was a day before her 13 birthday that I was diganosis been a quiet child she told me after she was afraid I was never going to walk....I am in NL and the MS nurse at the hospital gave me a book for my daughter title My Mum is Special. My daughter and I read this book each night to her and we talk about MS and what it can do...But contact the MS society or the MS chapter in your area and they will get your daughter help. The MS society has a section on their site for children of parents with MS. Good luck to you both and keep strong!!!
