MS is really difficult to diagnose at our age. I was diagnosed at 68 and am 72 now. Although definitely not fun, I am quite stable, even continuing to work full time, entertain and enjoy my adult children and two granddaughters. Not always easy but determination keeps me positive. Don't worry many of us don't progress rapidly. Best wishes to you ❤️ Thank you so much! I've been so stressed about it.
