... with what has already been said. I was diagnosed over a year ago at the age 48. That is not to say that I didn't have it for many years prior to the dx, because I'm sure I did. I saw doctors along the way who just didn't put two and two together. But that doesn't change the fact that the ms was there. I am especially discouraged that a specialist would just dismiss the sx. Hopefully you don't have ms. But I also hope you get another opinion. Age has nothing to do with the diagnosis of MS. Anyway I don't think it does!
