Why are you wanting to know?  Supposedly the "typical age range" for diagnosis of MS is in people between the ages of 20 - 45, although obviously there are many people younger and older than that who get diagnosed.  I was 34...but this was 25 years ago.  I think now people are getting diagnosed much earlier. I had symptoms that were probably MS-related for years before I ever went to the doctor to find out what was wrong with me.  I was probably 21 or 22 when things first started to go wrong.

I was 43 when I was diagnosed.  I did not have a long history of symptoms.  I had severe symptoms for about a month and then was hospitalized.  My diagnosis came about two months later.

Love and prayers,

I was diagnosed at 50 (last april). It took about 1 month for me to get the official dx. I did not have a long history of symptoms either; some numbness on the bottom of left foot for several years. Doctors attributed it to a pinched nerve. Had a signiciant flare in March that has resulted in some continuing problems.

I was 30 and was diagnosed after my leg, then my arm went partially numb. I only had an MRI which showed multiple lesions and that was enough for the diagnosis.

Good Morning:

 

I was DX'ed at 30 years.

 

Does everyone like contemporary music?

 

There is a line from the Greatful Dead sonf, "Truckin'",

which sums up the whole MS thing...
