I was told I probably had benign MS, too. I had very few problems for over 35 years. Bim 66 yeats opd andnow it's secondary progressive, and it has really progressed in very hard to handle ways. Though I know it's not my fault, it can feel like I did something to cause the progression, especially the bladder and bowel problems that started just a couple of years ago. I also need to start using a wheelchair because I've been falling down far too often. Family and friends e, pect me to "bounce back" anytime, and the wheelchair will mean I've given up, which is not true at all. I think I will be safer with the chair than I am without it. MS is scary but for decades I thought I wouldn't have major problems. Having had a fairly simple initial time with it doesn't make my current phase easier to manage.

Yesterday a woman who is the head of Neurology in a hospital told me that MS is not real. It was very hurtful.

Yes! I’m in this exact scenario. I was misdiagnosed for 15 years, then told it’s mild and offered interferons. Why should I take an ineffective medication, that will only cause me more uncomfortable side effects, while doing next to nothing? I said no. I’m on Neuro number 3, have never been on a DMT, and am now being told I don’t need anything due to my age (56). The sad part is, I’ve worked in healthcare for 36 yrs and still cannot get proper care.

yeah it's crazy I always wonder why some doc still propose some old school treatment in 2024, it is crazy to think it is "mild ms"

I was recently diagnosed but have no symptoms. I think it’s harder to process the diagnosis because I feel completely normal and all the research I’m doing is about people experiencing numbness and mobility issues
