Diagnosed at 31, but symptoms started in my late teens.
(age 47 now, and still doing relatively well). Cherie

Thanks Agate, for posting that.
Even though I was DX at 36 with onset of SX at 24, I get angry when the cutoff date for trials and such, is usually 60. As if, if you're over 60, fuggeddaboudit. Well, I'm in the 60 something group, and I'm not gonna take it anymore.. ..razzberies times three atcha.

I was dx'd at 25 but can take symptoms back to early teens and *maybe* farther.
When I was dx'd the average ages were between 20 and 40 but as Agates post shows those numbers are no longer correct.

When I first saw my regular doctor about all the weird symptoms at age 42, I said offhandedly, "At least I'm too old to get MS!"
Because I'd read that you get it between 20 and 40, and really I knew nothing about MS. She looked at me and said, "You're never too old to get MS." She was a brand-new doctor--I think I was one of her first patients in the clinic--and I thought scornfully, what does she know? She's still wet behind the ears! Plus, she wears high heels and dresses; how serious a doctor can she be? I just looked at her and didn't say anything more, and MS never entered my radar screen until the day I saw the second neurologist. I'm ashamed now of what I thought of that young family practitioner! She was right, of course. Nancy T. |

DX'd at 41, but symptomatic at 20. Now 46 and doing well with the MS, I think.
