Hi Chantal. I'm sure it can be tough not knowing other people around your age that you can talk with about all of this. Have you reached out to your local MS Society at all? You can always chat with the members here as well, of all different ages :)

@Stumbler

@chantal_boyd , it really can't be easy for you, being diagnosed so young. The big plus point is that you have started treating it quickly with the latest available treatment. Personally, I would hope that catching it while so young gives you the optimum chance to have a normal life, with MS posing little in the way of physical problems. The Forum Search function (magnifying glass, top left) has the option to search for members and then you can specify an age range. This might help you find other members that you can comfortably relate with. Alas, you'll only find those members that have shared their date of birth in their Profile. 😉
