I was 46 when DXed with MS, which later after it was found to be PPMS as DMDs don''t help PPMS (MS Neurologists often do not diagnose PPMS until laterfor a variety of reasons, one being Health Insurance will not allow trying DMDs as nothing seems to help PPMS and drugs are costly but they want patients to try them).

I have never had tingling, I walked funny (MIL thought I drank I found out) and was dizzy. I had Urine Release problems but for my age and after a twin birth seemed "normal. Looking back, I see things starting 10 years before diagnose but nothing to really affect my life. Dxed at 46, not so bad until I was 48 or so, in a chair after Canadian crutches and walker at 53.

My physical seems real effected, cognitive while impacted (or is it age?) not so bad. Everyone is so different in their MS (When, how and amount) it's hard to compare to anyone else. I will be 55 end of this year.
