The fatigue definitely started with the mono at age 16. It was also when I had my first really bad headache - the type that makes everything go dark when you stand up. That was also when the Raynaud's started. I didn't have any problems again until age 20 after my daughter was born. It's been off and on ever since.

First symptoms in late 20's, now in my late 40's. I am symptom-less most of the time and am on copaxone just after diagnosis in Aug of 2010.

I had MS probably at age 2 by 6 there is no doubt. They did not think children could get MS in the 1960's. Two was my first hospitalization for Neurologic symptoms. Neurologists and other Doctors knew there was something wrong they just did not put it together until I was in my 40's. I thought I was normal since I knew no different. I did not seek out Doctors with symptoms. I thought the Doctors were nuts when they said I had neurological problems. I am 47  and yes my MS has progressed but not as quickly as some.

Nope.  Maybe in my 20 when I had a bad round of Mono.  They questioned diagnosing me with Fibro a few times after that.  I'm almost 49 and was Dx'ed Nov of 2010.
