Getting Discouraged

I am dx with an isolated case of MS right now. I went paralysed on my left side in September, everything was normal for two days and then my hands and legs started tingling, and my balance was off.  I haven't been the same since.  Well I thought I was improving then two weeks ago I woke up to having fainting spells.  I am also going numb and the tingling is worse than ever.  I am also having a burning sensation in my feet and legs.  I also get a tingling, numbing feeling in my head.  Sometimes I get pains in my head when I turn it.  I am trying to stay positive but everyone around me keeps bringing me down by saying that "what if you don't come out of it".  And with the holidays coming up its very upsetting.  Right now I am still in bed because of the fainting spells.  I mean I should come out of it right?  Its just taking me longer than normal?? I have one lesion on my brain and 8 bands in my spinal fluid.  I did five days of steroids back in September but it didn't do anything and they thought it was because the attack was already over.  Does that mean that I could be relapsing now??  If anyone could give me any information that could help me I would appreciate it.  I am just trying to find out all the information I can.  Thanks
