My neurologist said it is rare to be diagnosed at 59. Symptoms I have I now know began years ago. I still have three more MRIs and a spinal tap scheduled for November. Any thoughts on the diagnosis age?

I brushed off so many symptoms and got diagnosed at 49.

Also, you may have experienced early symptoms and brushed them off not knowing. Good luck, @A MyMSTeam Member! 🤗

I don’t know if it is rare but it is called Late Onset Multiple Sclerosis. Best of luck to you
