I am PPMS, DXed in 2002. NOW, I can look back and see beginnings in 92. I have no tingling, was dizzy and then foot started dragging. I'd read MS was devastating and thought "not for me". But I went from Canadian Crutches to walker to chair. My left arm and leg are useless but cognitively I'm pretty good. Some Short Term memory loss but I am 55 and wonder "Is it age or MS?" MS hits everyone so different. There are no drugs that helped me, my Neuro and I have an unspoken agreement of "hey we tried" See you next year he says, here's my e-mail address if anything occurs." I do what I can, get full disability to add to family money pot. I do my best. No one knows the future or what will happen. A bus could hit us or a stroke tomorrow. An aneurysm killed my cousin's husband and also my female neighbor suddenly. Neither was past 37. Anyone. Maybe my life is better than others who have nothing wrong. Who knows.
