Hi 59 year old finally waking up to the challenges MS presents
My MS journey started in 1989 with what transpired to be optic neuritis.
Living in London in a bachelor pad that resembled a scene from the movie Animal House after a major relapse and a dose of steroids life went on. Yes rugby was a non starter but the chaos of a 20 year old continued at a ridiculous pace. Work and play carried on. MS was parked. In hindsight I got lucky.
I had another relapse in 96 followed by 2 or 3 less severe in incidents with the .ove to beta interferon at the beginning of 2000.
This was continued for a number of years with relapses still occurring.
I then moved on to Tysabri with no actual relapses to report for circa 10 years.
What has occurred is that over time my mobility has detiorated quite dramatically. Finding this site and actually removing my head from the sand has been quite liberating.
Thank you for this site and providing a means for me to start addressing this condition
