I posted a couple of times, but mostly lurk and read. 
I am 42-ish and was diagnosed in November. I started Copaxone shortly thereafter. My first symptom was the loss of feeling on the entire left side of my head from my scalp to my chin and the loss of feeling to the roof of my mouth and tongue. About a year and a half previous, I had suffered massive dizzy spells, but the MRI at that time was deemed "undifferentiated." I was told it was probably a virus. The one in November, according to the two Neuros who saw it, was definitely confirming MS. The first Neuro spent half an hour on the phone talking to my PCP about the results. My follow up appointment was nearly 45 minutes long as she examined me head to toe and went on to explain all about my test results. She was very worried. She then recommended a specialist for me to see based on her discussion with the other Neuro. She is fantastic and I completely trust here. After six years, she has never been wrong about anything.
I had one symptom since then, one that one of my dear friends who also has MS, and I figured that it was the MS Hug. Outside that, I only feel tired on occasion. I have no other visible symptoms. If you saw me, you would have no idea about my diagnosis.
Are there others out there who have had virtually no symptoms since diagnosis? I would really like to hear your experiences. If it weren't for the two Neuros saying the same things, going over my two MRIs side by side and my research, I might question my diagnosis.
