I'm 37.

She appears to be DXed at 47 years old so she's only a few years into it, but still it's impressive.

Yes I realize not all people with MS can do that and I know it comes in a very wide variety of manifestations. I realize how her story puts a false hope about MS though and they fail tell people that this woman is an exception and not all people with MS can do such things and many of them have a hard time getting out of bed alone. Even I notice a difference in my riding ability just from last year. I find myself not as fast, I take more frequents breaks and I pace myself better as to not over do anything. A far cry from the hard charging riding I used to do.

But you are still doing it, you're still trying. That's the hope
a story like that gives. I'm almost twice your age!! E GADS!!!
It even gave me a little hope.

Oh it gave me hope alright. I hope my particular situation doesn't get worse....anything like what I read last night makes everything seem less stressful and makes me feel like doing something.

As of now I am even studying hard about exactly where they are in finding a cure for this crap. I get so tired of reading nothing but how MS works and effects the body, but where are they in finding a cure?
Your immune system cells chomp away at your Myelin....ok.....so with all these years, money and time, smart people....and they can't make those cells stop doing that? It seems kinda fishy to me.

It just seems like the answers are obvious. Cells are attacking our own nerves when they should not be. They mistaken our nerves as "enemies" so they attack it.

I bet my right nut that something in the Myelin attracts the immune cells to attack....like lack of vitamins, our Myelin lacks something and makes it look like a bad virus. This is why I take my Vitamin D religiously and eat right...no soda, no sodium. Plus keep active.
