I reckon I had symptoms for years, although I waited until they disappeared an then resumed my life - happily in denial (not that I even imagined MS as being in my life plan).

It only took me one neuro visit, one MRI and some blood tests (to exlude any other reason for the 'numerous brain and brainstem lesions') BAM there it was, ready or not.

I have to say though, in spite of everything - after nearly 11 years - and all the symptoms I live happily in denial, waiting for my neuro to tell me that he was just messing around with my head.

Dream on........
