Not really.

I have had symptoms since childhood, diagnosed at the age of 24 and I am now 51. I have recently had 3 different experiences where a person was suprised I was 51. All three people thought I was in my mid to late thirties. None of them know each other and these were 3 seperate occasions.

For the most part I am still quite active and have found an increase in strength/stanima, less pain and more energy. I have found all of this in a 4 station weight machine we bought in early Oct.

Just last week I had been at the mall two days in a row. The first day I walked the mall end to end, top level and main level. The second day I spent 2 hours walking and shopping at this same mall. Both days were done without any walking aid or needing to sit down.
