Try not to let these "facts" scare you too much. I know it is easier said than done. MS varies so greatly from person to person. I was diagnosed a little over 10 years ago and I have less than 10 lesions. (I think 6 or 7) I have had 3 relapsed in those 10 years. There are people on the totally opposite end of the spectrum too. We really never know with this disease.
