MS Granny

I was diagnosed at the ripe old age of 68. I went years without getting a diagnosis. Around 2009 I began to have obvious symptoms. I had a serious fall down 10 concrete steps onto a brick walkway. No diagnosis. I kept badgering doctors because of deep, unrelenting fatigue. My balance and coordination was off. No diagnosis. I became so dizzy that I was hospitalized for 4 days. Sent home. No diagnosis. Finally after forgetting words while reading at church my NP-C had me get an MRI. NOW they find it....RRMS.
Everyone has a similar story. But what I'm finding is rare information dealing mentally and physically with MS over age 65. I'm now 73 almost 74. I know there are people out there who have been diagnosed decades ago. I've read some stories about older people and MS but rarely see stories about being diagnosed late in life. I read stories about how long I'll live ( I hope that I'm not one of the 77 year Olds who pass away. ) I have a relatively new marriage (7 years) and granddaughters to love and spoil and a life at church, RED HATS and a life a
home. But that's another story for another day.
