Just found this group and thought I would explore. I was diagnosed 1.5 years ago in my early 50's. In many ways it was a relief. It answered a number of whys I had about my body's abnormal reactions. I'm really still trying to figure things out.
The people around me are really trying to support me, but I don't know what I need. I don't know what issues are normal aging and what is MS. For the most part I just explain that my MS is mild and when I try to explain how it affects my body it's almost like it aged me 25 years. I can still do most things but slower and with more limitations. Hope that makes sense.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you know you may be seeing more of me.

Hi and welcome! This is a great place for fun, information, and to get your questions answered 🙂. The best advice I have is to exercise - keep moving - so you don’t lose it. Dr. Aaron Boster has an extremely informative YouTube channel, Dr, Gretchen Hawley has great exercise classes online aswell.
Hello and welcome. I hope we'll be hearing from you often!
I second the recommendation of Aaron Boster's YouTube videos. He's a neurologist who runs an MS clinic in Columbus, OH. He has a gift for explaining what you can do to manage your MS, how to work with your neurologist, understanding DMTs, etc. So be sure to check it out. 😊
