@ Im looking for advice? I will be 57 this month and I met with neurology nurse practitioner today. I have spinal stuff going on that could explain my numbness in my arms and the tingling but what led me to them is my frequent falling. I've fallen 3 times in 8 months. Once in the shower. Second time at a childcare center because I work with behavioral children and I fell broke my wrist and I thought I did something to my neck, bit through my lip. Then several weeks ago I just face planted in the garage and broke my nose. The mri did show lesions but I'm pretty old to be diagnosed. Im not sure I want to be diagnosed at this age? Should I even pursue it? Im so confused? Im not one to stick my head in the ground but I also don't want to sit around and get worse. I have other symptoms and I've fallen many times before here and there and just chalked it up to me being clumsy. I could use some advice? on Shift.ms

With all of your symptoms, injuries, and the fact that you had a MRI scan showing lesions, I'd be shocked if you didn't have MS. There are plenty of people older than you with MS. My recommendation would be to educate yourself on different therapies both pharmaceutical and natural to fight MS, and choose which you are most comfortable with.
