dont be angry

Consider it a blessing! Had you known you would always fear the unknown and generally people diagnosed later in life have primary progrssive multiple sclerosis. There is no treatment except to manage the symptoms. So I guess your symptoms were under control. Or I hope!

God Bless!

Finally Dx with MS at age 54. Misdiagnosed at age 50 and was told that I had a stroke. My neurologist in 2006 told me that because of the amount of scar tissue I had in my brain and spinal column that I had probably had MS for 25 - 30 years. That sure explained a lot.

HA, Ha, Auctioneer, my wife was telling me for about 2 years that she thought I had a stroke. Then, I was dx'd with MS at the age of 50+. I thought that I was too old to get MS. So misinformation had a place in my dx. Oh well, live and learn.
