Does anyone else live a normal life with MS?

[Bluesheep8]

Hi. I was diagnosed with relapsing/remitting MS 20 years ago this year. Its probably the 20 year 'anniversary' thats leading me to ask this. My MS is now described as 'behaving benignly' by my neurologist and I have never been prescribed any drugs. Whilst I haven't had a full relapse since 2005, I do have symptoms - tingling, intermittent numbness, pins and needles, odd sensations,fatigue, concentration problems, itching, but i see these as all being just a normal part of me. To look at me, you would never know and I tell very few people and only when I have to. I know that I am incredibly lucky and probably in the minority but is anyone else like this?

Anyone?

You can't be the only one - someone with MS (albeit recently diagnosed) has just rowed the Atlantic www.thetimes.co.uk/article/crotch-pain-vomiting-boredom-what-its-like-to-row-theatlantic-8jsmww5k5

I was only diagnosed two years ago, but have similar symptoms to you. I am On a DTD but work full time despite needing a stick to walk. But yes relatively a normal life. I did decide to tell people in fear of having a relapse as I wanted people to know if something happened. But other than taking an afternoon off due to crushing fatigue.
