I’m 36 and I got diagnosed with RRMS at 20 so I know the feeling.However,you can do it cause I made it this far.No it’s not easy,yes you have to make alot of adjustments but you can overcome.Stay strong and stay positive.Educate yourself,pay attention&learn your body.

Being diagnosed with MS is a total head spinner. It took me a long time to get used to the idea that I had MS. You are not a burden. Feel welcome to reach out if you ever need to chat.
