    Worst few years of my life. The upside is it happened at 50, not 20.

    This has been a hell of a ride.

    Hello everybody, My Name is Darius and I was diagnosed 1 week or so after my 50th birthday. I had been having intermittent issues that I hid from my wife of 35 years, at the time. The issues while scary a little were not alarming beyond curiosity. Alarming would come later. Boy would it ever. I started out with Rebiff because I didn't trust the New thing, Ocrevus" yet because I didnt want to get steve martins The "Jerk"ed if it went south. I gave myself a year to "do my aspie research" thing, finding things others missed. I found a few too... My neurologist wasn't aware of the new drug, ocrevus, dropping (gaining approval) on the 28th, 23rd? I forget, but that made her less than special to me. And that's not a good look for a specialist. Anyway...

    Nice to meet you guys in the future and it'll be alright.

    I go with that approach and look at the bright side. This is a pretty awesome age to get Multiple Sclerosis in. 2017 has stem cells, worldwide and connected in real time researchers, chemists and scientists working on options. This is the absolute best time in history to get Multiple Sclerosis in.

    Anyway, I came out of my maybe self-induced Fuege state I went about 60% internal after my MS diagnosis. My mom, my brother and my grandma who raised me all died in the interim. I still haven't grieved yet.Aspergers. I have it all tucked away, have to let it out some how. I chose Blogging because I need a revenue stream. I'm in good hands but I need something I can lose myself in, besides scripture studies and Multiple sclerosis research. and started a blog a few days ago and thats what led me here. Not very social at the moment and Aspergers social all other times. Cant wait to read whats on this forum. Make for Blogging, ow webmastering... This introduction just turned into part of my "About us page" I am so win-nink.

    No. Seriously, I am about to cut and paste this in my website blog wordpress thingy.

    Welcome. You have had alot to deal with starting with diagnosis. Sorry for your losses.

    You are right that if you have to be diagnosed, now is alot better than years ago. There are some folks here who were diagnosed prior to any treatment options, or just Copaxone.

    Good luck to you.

      Hi and welcome,
      I was diagnosed 13 years ago when I was 40 and have always been thankful I had the extra years to mature and get my life in order before the horror of a MS diagnosis. I'm also thankful there are so many medications available now. Please keep us updated.
