Last year I wasn’t feeling like myself. Many years ago a neurologist diagnosed me with a neuromuscular autoimmune disease. When I began having new symptoms - I thought it was from the autoimmune disease.
After a few months, I started a list of all the new symptoms. The list grew as I felt worse all the time. I saw my PCP, explained I had a new symptom list & began reading as Dr. began entering what I read. When I finished, she turned to me and said “This may be MS.”
Within 6 weeks my neurologist had given me many MRI’s, a Lumbar Puncture and blood tests. The abnormal LP confirmed I had MS at 74 yrs old. He suspects I’ve had a mild case for many years.
Has anyone else been diagnosed as a Senior? What were your symptoms?
