My MS journey was a walk in the park, too, in the beginning. I also had mild MS (started very vaguely at around age 27) and I took no meds or even steroids until a little over 3 years ago. But the bright side is that I am rebounding very well from my latest attack. It takes me forever (6-12 weeks) to get through it, do the steroids, regain my sleep, and be somewhat normal again. But I walk without a cane, I don’t have tremendous fatigue (a bit of lead limbs at times), and I only take my injections and something for my shot nerves (no pun.) My biggest issue is my left leg being a bit unsteady at times, but it’s manageable without a cane. So I don’t want you to think that MS is always a disability sentence. It can go either way, and I thank my lucky stars for my pretty good overall case. But I embrace that the road could turn down the line.

I read what you wrote on blindbeard’s blog about the “benign” MSer. Don’t throw things, but until I have another relapse, I am “benign” too. My first exacerbation was a trip to hell so I pray that I remain “benign”. I know how lucky I am even with the symptoms I do experience at times. Compared to your journey, mine is a stroll in the park.
