Hello there

I am a 74 year old great grandmother who has r/r/m/s/. Although only diagnosed in 1999, I'm pretty confident I have had this condition since my teens. I consider that I'm pretty lucky in that I still only use a walking stick and, on bad days, a wheelie walker.
Living in the sub tropics I find the weather does affect me but have a couple of air conditioners and many fans in the house, which do help in the warmer months.

I was on Avonex for about 3 years but it didn't seem to make any difference and no changes noticed since I came off it some 5 years ago.

Hope that is enough for an intro.
