I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but I know what you mean as far as feeling relief because that's the way I felt when I got my diagnosis.  At times, though, the reality of everything felt especially when I was reading about the DMDs.  

Are you going to start medicine, or have you been given any information about that?  There's lots to research about this as well, and some decisions to make about this as well.  

How and when did all of this start for you?  Did you have any members of your family with MS?  How is the numbness doing now?  Are you getting a lot of support at home?

Lots of hugs,
