I had my tonsils out at the age of 16 and was having MS symptoms before that.

Well I had the tonsils yanked out at 22 and got my MS Dx at 26. So much for before 20!

I still have mine at 53 and was Dx at 18.

With love, Erika

I had my tonsils out at age 2 age 5 my appendixs, from age 20 and on to age 35 I had 5 operations for female problems when at age 35 had a complete hysterectomy. Symptoms of MS started in my low teens, but was always told they were growing pains.

At age 41 I was given the final word that I had MS and that all the years before I was having problems was probably the MS.

In those early days they didn't know what MS was. I am 70 now.


Jappy :)

Same here, well, minus the exact DX at 25, which it would have, silly me, not going back with that second flare :rolleyes:

I still say, mine was from a broken tailbone at 15 or my car accident at 24...but hey, my body, what do I know?! :rolleyes:

I have a couple studies, in my home they can conduct, if they are that desperate to spend money....it involves Legos and mismatched socks in an Mser's home ;) :D
