New guy here.

Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.
I am 39. I was diagnosed a couple weeks ago. I am still not totally sure on the type of MS and am still exploring treatment options.
I have always been healthy. Never a broken bone, my only surgery was to remove my wisdom teeth as a teenager. I have been having symptoms for almost 2 years. I thought my symptom might be a pinched nerve or disk problem connected with a fall on stairs. I actually did have some back issues with that fall as well and needed chiropractic treatment for 3 months. I have had leg numbness and due to the numbness coordination issues. I adapted to my problems with being careful when walking.
I started karate about 10 months after my symptoms started to appear so I could do something with my daughter. I still train, and intend to keep training.
So far my life has not been impacted greatly by my symptoms. Just restless legs at times and the numbness/loss of coordination.
My doc started me with a three-day course of steroid infusions for inflammation and have another MRI scheduled to check the rest of my spine.
That is about where I stand at the moment.
