I'm 50. Diagnosed with MS at 40. Symptoms began around 19. Still working full time but live never knowing for how much longer.
MS sucks.
Things I have found helpful for me, ymmv:
cando-ms
Ocrevus
Ampyra
Eliminate processed foods, eat lots of fruits/veggies
Exercise the parts of the body that can still move
John Kabat -Zinn, mindfulness meditation for pain management
Sleep
Get outdoors a few minutes every day
Participate in clinical trials
Meet with others fighting MS who still hold on to hope, and can still laugh and cry
Things I believe that may not be true
EBV virus/mononucleosis plays a significant role in my MS
Still unknown, but there is interesting science on this. I tried to qualify for a study on ATA188, which kills EBV infected immune cells, but did not qualify.
