Hi
I was diagnosed 2 years ago now and would love to chat to people with ms who are a similar age to myself. I have just turned 30.
I have struggled to come to terms with it and feel chatting to other people will help. X

Hi,
I am 26 and have just been diagnosed with relapse remitting. I'm about to go on the Beta Interferon after two attacks in the last year. Pretty scared about future attacks (two so far have been 95% corrected by steroids) but what can ya do? Talking it over with some friends has helped. Hope you're feeling good at the moment.

Hi Rebecca,
I'm Kerry and was also diagnosed 2 years ago. I know what you mean about struggling to come to terms with the diagnosis and hearing from others really does help as well as attending the MS events.
I'm happy to chat anytime you want.

Hey, I was
diagnosed with definite rrms a couple of months ago, the consultant
wants to start me on disease modifying injections but as I am trying for
a baby the drugs will have to wait. was a tough choice. feel free to
message me too, I could do with the chance to speak to others who
understand as feeling pretty lonely when it comes to the diagnosis. (I'm
26 and live in Yorkshire by the way :-) ) x

Hi,
I'm Mel, aged 32 with Ms diagnosed 7 years ago. i'm just about starting to get my head round the diagnosis properly now - sometimes have sessions of wanting to scream and cry still but have to get on with life. i live in sunny sheffield and find that going to my local ms therapy centre helps - people know where your coming from and you don't have to explain everything. most of the therapy centres are online and i can recomend them as a good source of information and support. Feel free to pm if you need to chat.
Mel.

Hi, i'm alix and i was diagnosed in 2009 with rrms. I have,
up til now tried very hard to ignore the fact that i have ms and to be
honest have been kinda scared of being in touch with others who have
ms...almsot like i'd have to fully admit to myself that i do in fact
have it. I just started copaxone last Friday and joined this forum so i
could ask a question about the injections and reading the replies i have
realized that talking to and hearing from other ms-ers is actually
quite nice, its good to hear from folk who have an idea of what its like
having this horrible disease. I'm 28 and was 25 when diagnosed. I knew
no other people my age who had it (still dont). Would be nice to hear
from people.

Hi, I'm 23 with RRMS and was diagnosed at 16. I'd always be willing to chat about it.

HI everyone,
I know I am on the wrong Forum as I am in my 50's, early 50's thankyou!
Please don't turn off.
I just wanted to say something and hopefully give you something to think about.
I was only diagnosed 4 years ago. However, I have had severe problems since I was 14 years old. The neuros think I have probably had MS for at least 20 if not 30years.
I am still upright. I got married, I have a wonderful life.
I just want all those of you are scared at being diagnosed at such a young age and worry about the future to try and stop worrying so much. Your particular MS may not progress quickly.
I wish that I had been diagnosed at an earlier stage in my life, It would not have stopped me from doing anything I have done. I may however, have changed certain things, eg. diet, lifestyle, so that the fatigue did not impact so much.
So please, enjoy your lives.

I consider myself young at 40! Does this count? Diagnosed at
39, first known relapse at 36. I say known due to being used to living
with different sporting injuries from mountain biking/fell running so
they all do not help pinpointing a start. Look forward to what you can
acheive, not back at what you did not acheive.

Hey I'm Gareth, 25 years old, had MS since I was about 17-18. Would be happy to talk to you if you have any questions. xx
Wow... its so weird seeing that im not alone ... as most of
the time I feel I am... especially seeing ppl younger then me with it.
All people I've met have been 20 years older then me (Minimum)...
I was diagnosed when I was 23... I had a relapse with roughly 20 legions... I read somewhere that the average person has 1 or 2 relapses a year... I've had about 7/8 (I try not to keep count) in the first year... I was on Rebif for a lil while... but it didnt seem to help so my docter and nurse wanted to try me on Tysabri... Anyone else on that ...?
I guess I'm here posting as I do feel li got diagnosed at 23 and ike I'm alone with this.... I have my family ofc... and they are wonderful... but they don't quite have the insight I'm craving...
I turned 25 yesterday... it would be great if people would pm me for a chat... it doesn't even have to be about ms... just wanna make some friends who know about ms and understand it...

Hi I'm brand new to the website,
I'm 27 diagnosed at 23. Would love to talk to younger people. This thread got me to join.
I have a 1 year old and a husband, who is very supportive, but it's hard to find people of our age who actually understand.
I don't quite understand how these forums work, so if some kind person could help as well, that would be much appreciated.......
