I was diagnosed with "mild" MS at the age of 54. Looking back, I've had episodes of numbness and tingling in my legs, with no disability. Haven't started any treatment yet. Just got the dx last week.
I was diagnosed on 4/13/10 at the age of 34. Had my first flare in 2008 but didn't know it at the time. My 1st time being seen by a dr for symptoms was in march 2010, diagnosed April 2010 and started rebif in April 2010.
But I am also currently in my 2nd flare since starting rebif. So that makes 3 so far this year.
Never thought about the age thing, LOL I assume all you ladies are telling the truth about your age. :-D
John... thanks to all
