Hello,
I'm a male teacher, aged 30, and I've had MS for about 10 years now. I do not yet have a permanent disability from MS. I have had three MS attacks since my initial diagnosis, but recovery has been great each time.
My initial attack was an exciting experience; I had paresthesia, or numbness, from the neck down. I could not feel my body. For months it had felt like my head was screwed onto a robot, but I had complete motor control. I began taking Avonex as soon as my diagnosis was certain and the insurance cleared.
I think my biggest curiosity about MS is in identifying human error from a symptom of MS: so things like unwarranted sharp pains, wanting a nap, or having a momentary lapse when thinking. I assume everything that might be a symptom is just a normal quirk.
