Hi Cassidy and Welcome! This is an extremely supportive bunch with lots of good information. I can relate to the "age" thing. Was diagnosed at 47 but think it actually began in 1976 after the birth of my third child when I developed optic neuritis and again in the other eye two years later.

Due to numbness, tingling, footdrop, etc., my MRI showed the lesions in my brain and spine, so the diagnosis. Also have fibromyalgia and just recently developed lymph oedema in my feet/ankles/legs from immobility. I'm now 63 with three kids and six grandkids and live alone. The ms has progressed pretty rapidly in the past few years so am now in a wheelchair. Tried the injectables with horrible side effects. I've been on LDN for over two years.

Are you by any chance in PA? I too have been going to a general neuro and would really like to hear what an MS specialist has to say. There aren't any in the immediate area, so I'm looking around. If you want to PM me, feel free.

Take care and hope to get to know you better.
