jennyj, if you are not on any of the ABCR's you might want to do a lot of reading and thinking. It is a personal decision for everyone.

I had MS for at least 25 to 30 years before even getting a diagnoses. So, obviously mine was mild and would have definitely been referred to as benign (if there is such a thing). However, there came a time when it was no longer benign, and this led to a diagnoses. I was able to go back in medical records and find little things for all of those years.

Personally, I wish that I had been on medication earlier. I started within two months of diagnosis, but still I had already had it for such a long time. I know it would be a hard decision when you are not having much trouble, but it truly is an unpredictable disease.
