Well let's put it this way. I have MS, went from 1990 until 1996 being told it was all in my head. Find yourself a good Neurologist. Have the test run to make sure. Your mind will at least be put to ease, mine was. IT finally had a name. I take Avonex, a shot, once a week. Slows down the progression of the MS. Mine has never really gone into remission. I have pain everyday. There's a lot that goes along with the MS. Don't try all the different drugs. I have tried them all, plus all pain recommendations. Just deal with each day the best you can. I am 64 now. It was in my late 40's that all this began. Now people older are being diagnosed with MS. It is really a strange diagnosis. Take one day at a time. Say each day will be a good day. Be positive as much as you can. When need to rest, do so. Only we know how our bodies really are with this MS. You will cope with it. We all have to!!!
