To answer your post title, no, you're not the first. In my time here on the boards, I know of two people that realized their worst fear and both are doing well. "Two". Think about that. Of the thousands of members and tens of thousands of threads... "two."

And an interesting thing happened with these two members. Their anxiety took a back seat while they dealt with things and has remained in the back seat ever since. At worst, you have a medical condition that can be treated. I have medical issues and side effects that I deal with every day. Not fun I can assure you but rarely does it stop me from living my life to the best of my ability.

I also know what it's like to be in limbo waiting for results. Been there done that a few times. I truly do sympathize with you on that. Regardless, you'll deal with the hand that's dealt and move forward from there. We really don't have any other choice do we?

I am also sorry that you are going through this. I can only imagine what you are going through. I would just say that you don't have the MRI results yet, there is still a chance that it could be something else. Some symptoms are caused by anxiety, but all are amplified.
I am really hoping for you, and I hope the scan comes up good. But as other people said try to keep positive. Anxiety is something we all share here and it can run you down, it is hard, try to find the strength within to think positively..

We are thinking about you..

PPMS can't be treated... why do people keep saying this? I'm trying to remain positive

True, MS in it's various forms can't be cured but there are treatments, meds and therapies that can help manage the symptoms. As has been said, diagnosis can take a long time (sometimes years) and this type of MS is very rarely found in people under 40. (thank's Dr. Google )

Went for my MRI today, praying that they find a cyst on my brain or ANYTHING that's not MS

Please keep me in your prayers x
