I'm from the MSW crew too.
I'm female (good thing with that 'Tootsie' name huh

). 63. I didn't get dx'd with MS till 50 yrs. old.
I'm doing fairly well, mostly deal with being tired a lot and numb fingers.
I have other health issues also (hypothyroid and asthma).
So life can be trying at time. Mostly I feel positive.
I love to do arts and crafts. I also enjoy antiquing and decorating.
Both DH and I are retired, though he's gone back to work part time.
I might do the same if I can find something that is not strenuous.
The only trouoble with returning to work after retirement is it cramps your style with regard to traveling and pursueing your interests.
