About Me: Although my official MS onset was in 1981; I believe it actually began in 1962 when I first had optic neuritis, but I was too young and so not told. After my diagnosis my ophthalmologist explained it. I worked until 1992, when I had surgery, then more lesions and I became disabled. Most of my deficits are invisible, being mostly cognitive and I still continue to walk, generally appear normal but aren't. Most of my time is spent online, researching MS material and participating in online MS support groups. I maintain a website, totally dedicated to understanding MS -> http://www.thjuland.net/ More…
