Hi I have had MS for 38 years. Doing well. Able to hold a full time job with taking medication. At this point I cannot jump down from things with out trying to fall, eye take a long time to ajust to the dark, looks like a fussy TV screen, speech starts to change letters around or unable to say the word even though I can hear in my head or see it. Touch cold causes cramping. Love the outdoor and the heat but hate the cold. Love life and my cup is alwas 1/2 full.

Hi moomshinelm! It's nice to meet you and welcome to our boards! You have had MS for a long time now and seem to be doing reasonably well considering. I'm glad you are still able to work too. What type of medication have you been on?

I'm going on 24 years now, am SPMS, not working anymore, but still maintaining an glass half full attitude too!

I have only been diagnosed with MS for about 2 1/2 months. It is great to hear from somebody who has had it for so long and still has a positive attitude! I try to keep a positive attitude, and I think I have done pretty well with it. My family and friends have been really supportive and positive through this whole experience.

Welcome!

Welcome!

The positive for me started when I finally got diagnosed with MS and at last knew the critter that was causing me so much trouble.
Just knowing what you are dealing with after so many years is a big plus...a positive thing....just like this site....

Welcome! I'm new here as well. Hoping I can spread some positivity here too. I was diagnosed in 2005. The first few years were the hardest, but now that I've completely changed my way of eating and the way I deal with stress, I'm doing so much better and have not had a relapse in many years.
