I'm 27, and I was diagnosed with rrms after I had my first episode about a year and a half ago. Shortly after diagnosis, I started taking Copaxone and have been doing well. So far, I haven't had any major issues other than some minor symptoms. All things considered, I feel very blessed.
I have a tendency to get a little down when I don't have anything else to worry about. When that happens, I start researching ms thinking it will make me feel a little better...it usually does the opposite. This time, I stumbled upon this forum. Reading about others' experiences has been very helpful.
Thank you all for telling your stories and posting some great articles. I'm very happy I discovered this forum. Looking forward to visiting often and learning from you all. Hopefully, I'll be able to make some useful contributions myself.

Welcome to ThisIsMS, Andrew. I look forward to your contributions; I think you will be a great asset to this community.
My hypothesis: excess insulin (hyperinsulinemia) plays a major role in MS, as developed in my initial post: http://www.thisisms.com/forum/general-discussion-f1/topic1878.html "Insulin – Could This Be the Key?"
