Hello other members. It's been a long time since I've been on a message board group but am having activity right now with my MS. I was dx in mid 2003 with numbness/tingling up to my waist. I've got two friends with optical issues but have none of that myself. These days the numbness/tingling has essentially passed, however pain issues and tendons that bind up on me as though they think they're muscles in a cramp. Latitude and chicken pox as an adult seem to be the most prominant triggers for me that I understand. I'm in my early 40's, married with grown children, lots of dogs, and am pretty active. Since I'm not having an "apparent disability" I've had few around me that I can relate to with ms. Perhaps there are other's in this group that are impacted by ms but not living with a notable disability that can share with me.
