                How many years have  you had your DX?

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.

Long story short! ;)

.  First symptoms:  1999 - 23 years old.  Bilateral optic neuritis? Lightheadness?  Mild paresthesia?
.  Random paresthesia/headaches/lightheadness in the interim.
.  April 2010 - 34 years old:  Bout of optic neuritis in right eye.  Paresthesia.  Diagnosed with CIS, possible MS.  I'm on Copaxone since June.  Vision has improved, paresthesias refuse to entirely go away.  Headaches persist.
