I am 45 years old and have had symptoms of ms fot 22 years and dx since June 2006.I did hair for 25 years and found it impossible to work anymore. I miss the interaction and relationships that you build in the business. I have found that I continue to have regular flares with or without working but I do have more time to rest this way. I am grateful not to have any lestions in my spine. I have two children that are 14 and 10. They are good to help me around the house and understand when I just don't have the energy to go as hard and fast as they would like!
