At what age did you receive your MS Diagnosis?

Just a little curious  at what age you were DX with MS & what type of MS?


                How many years have  you had your DX?


thanks

hi everyone, have only recently been diagnosed at 34. Not quite figured out how to deal with it yet, but in a way is good to have an answer! diagnosed on mri after getting double vision, but have had the electric shock symptoms on and off for a few years, and what was probably a CIS at 19. self diagnosis of 'faulty wiring' for as long as i can remember. Is age of onset as per the statistics valid at all??, i think i have always had rrms.. but maybe it's not until we get a bit older that our brains run out of re-routing options and start to cause more obvious problems?? Hope you all have a happy and healthier new year :-)

Dx at age 58.  Haven't asked the doctor for anything more specific.  Taking Copaxone.

First definitive symptoms at age 38.  Told it wasn't MS after MRI done.  I tracked down that MRI and had it copied to a CD.  My MS doc points out multiple lesions that were clearly present twenty years before diagnosis.
