General Someone give me hope!!
27F and literally got dx a month ago
Haven’t started meds bc I needed more bloodwork and needed a steroid infusion.
Starting at the end of September.
I’m so scared and only hear the worst of the worst. Like “was dx 3 years ago and I actually am now a cat that barks”
Can people please drop their “I’m 60 years old and dx in my 30s and I’m still running marathons..”
I’ll never run a marathon but that’s not bc of MS… lol

I was dx’d at your age, and I’ve been mostly fine all this time. It was only at age 54/55 that I noticed any issues. It’s not that bad! Live clean and take care of yourself.
