Dx'ed at age 39. Experienced first symptom - Lhermitte's sign - at age 38.
I was DX on Jan.29,1986, but possibly had it since early 70's, who knows for sure.
Dx at 31 with ON and numbness. First symptoms at 19 with spacticity in hips.
First symptoms that I remember age 36.
Dx age 37...I'm 39 now.
Was diagnosed at 53 but had symptoms, (optic neuritis, numbness in legs) at least 10 years before. All happened after I quit working out in the sunshine all year.
I was 46 when diagnosed. I was first hospitalized at age 2 and went to Neurologists through out my childhood and did not know it because my parents thought it was better if I did not know.. In the 1960's they did not know children could get MS. I was so used to symptoms and weird reflexes etc. I thought it was normal until my PCP told me it was not and sent me to a series of Neurologists. They had trouble diagnosing me because I did not have attacks and basically did not complain about anything.
