I am in my upper-thirties. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1998. I am doing well with it. You need to keep a positive attitude. Along with the MS, I have several other major health problems that keep my online a lot. I talk to others in similiar situations and help them adjust to life after diagnosis. I enjoy being home with my pets, they keep me amused! I lost my Mother-in-Law on 10-15-05 from Liver Disease not from alcohol. She played a big role in my life and will be greatly missed.
