Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 dx'd last fall; big surprise for me as I'm 50 and " too old " for MS. I tore my ACL in my knee 3 years ago and thought that was the reason for my walking difficulties. Had surgery to replace it and that's when my symptoms really came out (stress to body related?) So I was sent to a neuro and had MRI scans done as well as the whole battery of other tests. Their conclusion: MS Primary Progressive. My other symptoms are numbness in my left toes and fingers (slight) and occasional night leg twitches. On LDN since April and it seems to be helping. No other drugs to date.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 You were a runner though right Phil...just wondering if that activity which creates endorphins is what staved off many years of symptoms as it did for me.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 right I was a runner AND I did a martial art (Aikido) for 15 years... that was incredible workouts. So yes, I believe that healthy living, a good sane attitude and exercise is what kept it at bay for years. Then I had my knee surgery and basically sat around for 6 months doing nothing... that's when the demons appeared on the scene.
