My cousin at 35 years was just recently diagnosed with MS. She has 2 small children (Michael and Nick) and I really find it heartbreaking that she has to deal with this when her kids and so young (8 and 5) so I'm going to be walking with many friends and family on April 29th. My family and I would really appreciate any donation you can make or just a prayer. Thank you.

Hopefully it's slow progression, so she can enjoy their younger years.Originally posted by Sportsuser101
I have a friend who's had it for many years, and he still gets around well...driving, working, etc.
Good luck!I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!Comment

Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

With today's treatments she could be watching her grandchildren graduate. My step dad had it and a friend, my age, has had it for almost 10 years with no visible signs.Originally posted by mybillsHopefully it's slow progression, so she can enjoy their younger years.

Re: I normally don't like to post this but its important
My wife's sister-in-law was diagnosed in her late 20s, and then they decided to have children. It was probably a mistake. She is one of 5% of MS victims who is affected mentally. She can no longer work, has memory problems, emotional disturbances and a learning disability as a consequence of the MS. She cannot be trusted to be alone with the children for extended periods of time. Physically, she can still walk, though it's more of a shuffle. Otherwise the symptoms aren't too severe. It's the mental ones that are the killer.
Generally speaking, I understand later onset MS tends to be more agressive, while early onset MS is slower progressing. I'm sure there are exceptions. The disease is characterized by intermitent symptom free periods early on, but over time the remissions will decrease in frequency and duration as symptoms worsen.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.Comment
