My son an I both have MS

[me and my son]

Hi everyone,
I'm a 60 year old Mum with a 29 year old son as well as 2 daughters. My son and I both have MS.
I was diagnosed in 2000 with 8 brain lesions but I believe I have had symptoms since the 1980's. My son was diagnosed 8 years ago when his walking went seriously downhill and his has 7 lesions. 5 on his spine, one on his neck and one on the brain. We both have relapsing/remitting but he is far, far worse than I with his symptoms.
My main purpose is to help relieve my son of his downhill slide and the terrible side effects. He is also a Type2 Diabetic and so steriod treatment is avoided for him.
I'm hoping that I can learn from all you wonderful people and take your advice on board. Take care out there.

Hi and welcome!

I'm in the same position as your son - my mom and I both have MS but it's hit me harder

Still, I have a good life.

Thank you both for your Welcome.

I feel for you and your Mother aitch10 that you both have MS. My son finds it so hard to walk because of terrible balance and fatigue. He does however try to do 1 mile a day on a stable bike.
All the best to you both and stay positive.
