I'm in my 40's as well! Diagnosed this past February. Welcome to the group, you found a great one! 🧡

Welcome to this great community! You will be glad to meet interesting people with a lot of experience and knowledge! I wish I had found a group like this when I was forty! I was diagnosed in my thirties ( ahem a few years ago 😆)

Hi, there, Immanew! MS is a crappy birthday gift. Too bad you can't return it! What kind of MS have you been diagnosed with? I've had relapsing remitting for 22 years. Are your doctors going to start you on a disease modifying therapy, or DMT? Please feel free to look around, ask a lot of questions, and chime in when you like.

A good place to learn about MS is, believe it or not, is a YouTube channel by Dr. Aaron Boster, who runs an MS center in Ohio. His videos tell it like it is, but are so full of compassion you will almost feel like he's your doctor. He's very passionate about empowering MS patients through learning, so he often makes videos every time he has a few minutes. So if the first video you watch takes place in a parked car, an airport etc., don't let it freak you out. 😊 I'm so glad you found us!

Here is some of the most helpful information on MS drugs I've ever found. Please check it out if you're interested

Welcome, ImmaNew!

Was yesterday your 40th birthday? Whenever your birthday was, belated happy birthday!

What a birthday present, a diagnosis of MS--the gift that keeps on giving. I hope you'll have many more happy birthdays in spite of the MS.

Thanks! It was the end of April. I was taken back because I had been working lab for a decade plus. I spent 4 years performing and sending out for these tests. Its a trip being on the otherside of the veil.
