Hi all. I'm 60 and was diagnosed with SPMS four years ago, though my neurologist feels my first episode was at age 19 and it's been RRMS til recently. I use a walking stick for balance, deal with fatigue daily, other issues as they come and go. My mother was diagnosed with MS at about the same age, and lived independently til age 83. I guess there is something in the genes that makes one susceptible... I'll be reading posts here to learn from others... glad I found this site.

Thanks for the warm welcome and the search tips! Since being diagnosed I'm surprised at the number of people I've met who are living with MS. Lots more than I ever realized. Off to read a bit now.

Hmm. Clicked the chat link but my phone doesn't seem compatible. when brain fog hit me hard in 2012 I lost my business, my house, etc... Went through bankruptcy, and I'm keeping things simple and affordable so no cable or tv or internet lol
At least I can use and read the message boards
