I have had MS for 22 years now. Diagnosed at 19. I am married and have 2 wonderful boys (6 and 4). My sister-in-law linked me to this site and it is great to be able to meet people who understand. I live with my MS with a positive outlook and feel grateful for the activities I am able to do. Don't get me wrong, I do have my days of frustration and worry (will I be able to walk to my son's baseball game?). My family doesn't understand the illness and they like to believe all is fine in the world so this site feels very welcoming to me.
MS has mostly affected my walking - about 6 years ago. I know it was stress related and I just haven't improved since then. I am on Ampyra and that has greatly helped me. Lack of sleep, colds and flus, stress are the factors that affect me the most. But I will not allow MS to stop me from the quality of life that I want.
