I was diagnosed at 43 but I was 30 when my symptoms started... It kind of surprises me that as of right now the ages 50 - 59 is leading precentage wise for the age of diagnosis.... hmmm....

I was given dx age 45years. I cannot remember experiencing any of these weird symptoms previously, so I guess I'm lucky.

I was diagnosed last year at age 38.
Symptoms started at age 10, maybe earlier. Diagnosed at 22.
DX at 40 symptoms appeared at age 36
I was diagnosed at age 44.
I was diagnosed shortly after my 32nd birthday.
Actually, shortly after my 33rd birthday. Oops. going back to bed now.
Symptoms started at about age 27.
Diagnosed at age 50.
I was 37 - probably had it for 10 or more years before but had no clue. Shocker!!
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.
