Welcome to Neurotalk, Fouf, Nice to meet you.. I hope you do well in the trial and thank you for being a geunea pig for all of us.

Hi there fouf and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I too was your age when I was diagnosed with MS, and I also had a young baby at the time. My daughter was just 6 months old when I had my first major attack. My neurologist thought that maybe the trauma of childbirth had brought the illness out into the open. It didn't cause MS, it just was the trigger to bring the symptoms out.

That was over 30 years ago now, and I want you to now that I'm still doing OK. Yes I have better days than other, but I only gave up work 18 months ago, and that was more because of a cancer diagnosis than it was to do with MS.

Welcome again to the site; it's good to have you with us.

Koala77, thank you for your message (well in fact, thanks to all of you for your welcome messages, this site is just awesome.. sometimes we feel so alone with this stupid illness, disease.. whatever they call it). Anyways, I was going to say that my first attack was also brought on by childbirth, seems that many times trauma will bring on the first attack. I'm happy to see that even 30 years later you are doing ok.. but sad to hear that you are battling cancer.

Hi all,

I've just been diagnosed with MS...I'm a mom of two under 3 years old, a boy and a girl, and my attacks started after the birth of my second. I'll try and post a thread in the main forum with more about me. Glad to "know" you all

PL

Hello everyone!

I was referred to this board by a friend on another board and thought I'd stop in to check it all out.
I'm 32 years old with 3 kids, married and living in Southern California.

I've had MS-like symptoms for 2 years now, on and off. MRIs were all clear two years ago when they started. Brain MRI a few months ago was clear but they didn't re-do spine. I am also seeing an opthamologist for eye issues but I don't see my neuro again until October. Did a nice () month of rule out testing in June, all normal. So I guess you could say I'm in limbo. Just searching for answers and playing the waiting game.

I hope to get to know all of you.
