At age 23/24, while I was going thru a very stressful and scary event, I had
my first notable MS symptoms. Didn't know it at the time and not bad enough
to seek a Doc, I just rode it out. Had some scarier symptoms in my late 20s to
early 30s, got married at 29, had a Child at 30 and still no Doc.

At 34/35, had my first MS exacerbation and ran to the Docs. After a bunch of
probing and treatments, Doc sent me to a Neuro and he put me in the hospital
for a week of tests. After a myleogram/spinal, the MS DX came. I suspected
and was ready for it...sorta...

I had many symptoms over the next 17 years, but really had MS Lite, until my
2nd mega exacerbation at age 53. that was the end of the beginning or the
beginning of the end? Went thru several Attacks & Meds over the next ten
years and then at about age 64, strolled over the bridge to spms..
Stopped all of the usual DMDs and started LDN.. Joined here in 2006.

And here I am at 75 yrs young, none the worse for wear, 50 years after my
1st SX, 40 yrs after my DX, still going strong, although doing most of my
traveling in my scooter. I intend to see, at least. age 90,(God willing)

I'd love to hear/see your stories, if you have one.
Please post it here! Thanks!
