Hey Susyt,

What strikes me is at 74 you can do "heavy exercise" I don't think many 74 year olds exercise at all or are capable of exercising.

I think its a good idea to have an MRI scan of your brain and spine. I've had them and both negative. The chances of late onset MS for you are negligible given your lack of symptoms.

I think you've hit the nail on the head with respect to your attitude to your symptoms

"I have noticed that when I am otherwise occupied I do not seem to notice it."

If you were able to adopt the attitude that your symptoms were trivial and were dismissive of them, if you chose to ignore them wherever possible and just get on with your life, you could, in a way, set yourself free.

Too often, and I don't mean you at all, people become so preoccupied with their condition that it becomes part of their identity. They become experts in whatever they suffer with and it engulfs them. It takes over their lives.
I appreciate that some people's conditions give them no choice. You only have to read desperate heartbreaking stories on this site. But for many people we have a choice.

To quote John Milton

"The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven."

Anyways, thanks for the update. I hope you will let us know how you get on.

Take care and best wishes,

Atty
