Hello, all! I'm 17, and was diagnosed with MS on June 4 of 2014. However, I've grown up in a household with a mother who also has MS, so I'm not going in totally blind. There seems to be a lot of good information on this forum, and I'm looking forward to learning from those here with more experience. I'll do my best to share what limited knowledge I have at this point!

Welcome, you seem to be handling it very well. I know I would not have done the same at 17 years old lol.
I was diagnosed last year at the age of 25. To say the least, life goes on... just on a different path.
Best wishes,
Chris

Very true; life does go on. I get irritated at my symptoms sometimes, but it doesn't last too long. With senior year winding down and college approaching, I don't have much time to linger on negativity! Lol
