I found out this year I have minor MS. I'm 29 so we caught it early and bc of that I'm much better off, projected to have no real impact on my life.
The medications they have now are night and day from the old ones. Super effective. People that were completely debilitated can walk again.
I lived with it for a couple years before finally getting checked out. I kept telling my Dr something was up with my body (I had weird incidences where I would briefly lose feeling in my hand) but nobody ever ordered an MRI until I had a serious flare up.
It's a scary concept and name but these modern treatments are great. Mine is called Ocrevus, it kills off most of your b cells so your immune system runs less "hot". They grow back every 4-6 months and you take another dose. It's an IV infusion.
I got my first infusion in August and so far no side effects. I would go as far as saying this disease isn't a big deal unless your damage is super severe and/or you don't have access to the good medical.
They don't know the "cause" of MS but in my anecdotal experience it's basically stress related. I've had a lot of stress throughout my 20s. Social and job stress as well as physical stress. If you have a nagging injury that hurts but not that bad, get that shyt fixed because it's adding stress to your brain. Honestly if I were to sum up the cause of my disease I'd say "lack of affordable health care". I had to get a legit job before I could start addressing my injuries.
Just make sure to take care of yourself, I grew up on that Brett Favre play through injuries shyt and I think that might have been a contributing factor in my developing this disease. It's easy to tell yourself it's not that bad and keep it pushing, but what I've learned is that all adds up.
Also Id recommend everyone get an MRI on their brain just to see if anything is up

Ya I have lesions- mine are located in a specific spot that effects motor operations on my body's left side. Then there's a couple random small lesions in other spots. It's mostly the one spot, though.
I'm with one of the best MS Dr's in the country, I'm very lucky. He was my 2nd opinion. I'm taken care of. Just wanted to shed some light for those that don't know, since it's not common knowledge. I didn't know shyt about it until this year.
