Age at Diagnosis

Good morning from the beautiful state of Kansas, USA! I'm wondering about disease course when diagnosed at an older age. I'll be 50 in June & was just diagnosed this year with RRMS. I've read that being diagnosed after 40 is often PPMS and/or can have faster progression. Anyone else here diagnosed after 40 care to share their experience?

@rmdaniels, I was diagnosed four years ago, at age 55, RRMS. In these four years, symptoms have definately gotten slowly worse, but no new lesions, and my neurologist still calls it RRMS. Happy to answer any more specific questions if you have them.

I was just diagnosed in February and turned 49 in March. I'm not sure what type I have yet. @rmdaniels
