I did a intro. but I think it was in the general forums section. Be patient with me! I'll get the hang of this soon.

I'm an older MSer. I was diagnosed at 60, that was three years ago. So far, it is considered mild. I'm on Rebif and stable for now.

My cognition was hit pretty hard right off the bat! From what I've been reading, neuro research is now acknowledging that cognitive damage can occur early on. That's my biggest challenge.

I had no clue what was wrong with me. I retired early from nursing because I found the hectic pace as a floor nurse was too much. I was exhausted constantly, and found it difficult to remember things.

I'm blessed that my sons (3) are raised with families of their own.

It doesn't matter what your age at diagnosis is: there are issues when you are younger with children, jobs etc. At my age, it is very difficult to know what is MS and what is just common aging.

Who would have thought that I would be diagnosed at this age? Certainly not me! Neuro. says I've had it for some time. I guess the point is that there is a big difference between age of onset and age of diagnosis.

Hope to get to know all of you
