Like almost all things untreated and ignored it ...

I just turned 26 and I was wondering if any young people living with MS have a fear of never getting married? Not because you can't find anyone but what happens if you are on medicade and you get married? The government then counts your spouses income and you will not be eligible anymore.

Hey. 21 year old aussie male, diagnosed with MS. This is probably my worst nightmare come true. I could probably deal with cancer better but living my life in pain and paralysis seemed worse.

Then I realised that the internet was such a wonderful resource for information and there is great hope, although not "Clinically" proven I am on my search for LDN currently and am going to start Copaxone, might eventually dump that.

Hi everyone! My name is Jenni. I am 14 and I was diagnosed about two months ago. If anyone wants to chat I'm always up to metting new people. Hope to hear from you all soon.

I hope you find our community a useful one, and realize that while it is of course incredibly difficult to deal with a serious issue ...
