Is there an age factor in how young multiple sclorsis can show up?!
Question:
Answers:
MS usually shows up in a person who is in their late 20's to early 30's , however my daughter went to h.s. with a girl who was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 15 which is quite unusual. The tendency to have MS does run in families.
I wouldnt wish it on anyone because it is awful, terrible and a living hell of a disease.

Hi,
Most cases are diagnosed during the 20,s to late 30's. However because it has been a difficult disease to diagnose up until the 70's when MRI images could pick up the white matter on the brain. Therefore many have or had gone undiagnosed for years.
A little about myself. I have been livng with MS for 15yrs. Yes it has its moments when your life has no control, but I do believe that your attitude, strength to fight and will to to adjust has an impact. Looking back over the years many sacrafices have been made to remain stable, functionable and independent. I realize that you don't have to have MS to have a bad day, loose a job, rearrange a schedule, walk instead of ride a bike, ect.
We all have losses in our life and its what you with the loss thats important. MS will continue to a part of my life, but not run my life. " I have MS, MS doesn't have me"!
Another important componet of keeping the body in balance is nutrition. Because I have a disease that is already attacking my amune system and slowing things down. its important to eat right, exercise and get good sleep. Well, looking at the food prymid it would take me 2days instead of 1 to eat all that it recommends. So, I spoke with a friend who told me about Herbalife. It is a great way to get GOOD Nutrition and control your weight. Being less mobile, I thought this is great and started using it 2yrs ago.
I take a mulitivitiam 3 times a day, 2 shakes and 1 good meal. The shakes have all nutrients needed with the vitiam and one full meal I have met the recommendations of the food prymid. Simple it is and delicious too.
