I spent about the first year of so questioning everything that happened to me and everything that I felt and wondering "Is that MS or am I just getting old?" I never really had any panic about it, but I guess I have always just seen progression as something that was eventually inevitable, so I never really got too stressed out over it. Eventually you just have to move past that whole line of thinking and start living what life brings you and what you can make of it.

Somebody here or on another board told me once that I couldn't consume myself with living my disease, but that I should instead focus on living my life, and then if the disease intrudes, work to overcome it. That was the best advice about MS I have ever gotten. I am like you in that I haven't had many overt symptoms since my dx, but I also haven't gone looking for them either. I just consider myself one of the lucky ones and move on with life.
