    Three & a half years, got it later in life at age 64…I am in the 10% to 15% who have the Primary Progressive type…I think the progressive word speaks for itself, as for where I am at now..

    Hi Jackie! It’s good to see you again!
    I am where are you are, progressing along. How have you been doing?
    For me, this past year has been a tough one, I have noticed a decline in my walking and increased pain.

    35 years – relapsing.   I’ve done well and was able to work full time and then spend many years RVing around the country.   Having your bed with you at all times makes life much easier when traveling with MS.

    Beginning to have more frequent relapses as I age.   The problem is that the aging process and MS relapses can be much alike and takes careful analysis as to the cause.   MS or simply getting OLD.    GRIN

    I hear you, Micki.  I’m 70 years old, with plenty of aches and pains which may, or may not, be MS related. DXed in 1980 and worked, full-time, until retiring at the end of 2012.

    Yes, it is hard to distinguish which pains are MS or age! Or if age related pains are magnified due to MS!:)
