          Symptoms since 2009 but probably a few years before that. Misdiagnosis of ADEM in 2009. Official MS diagnosis end of 2012.

                            Same here Lisa. Do you still cycle, BTW?

                            The good news is my state of MS has been pretty stable since the beginning. The bad news is MS came on like a freight train and after trying about a zillion different meds, nothing has helped me. I don't really "live" each day. It is more accurate to say I "push through it".

                            That's my story after living with MS for a decade...wish I could come up with something more profound on this anniversary.

                              Symptoms from 1991, Dx seven years later. Altogether I would guess 22-23 years.
