Confused MS and Aging

I guess this is mainly for the women........but the men are welcome to respond.

Since I've been diagnosed and my MS has progressed I've noticed that I look so much older. I know that's bound to happen as I get older but in the pictures I've seen of myself lately it seems like I really look old.

I'm not trying to be vain or superficial but I guess I'm just not ready to look my age (I'm 52).

Have any of you noticed that you seem to be aging faster since being diagnosed with MS?

I'm using Oil of Olay night cream like it's going out of style! I see photos of women in their 70's and think to myself "she looks better than I do and I'm 20 years younger!".

Eeek!
