Diagnosed at age 39 [4/2006]; had worked full-time until 12/2009 when symptoms became worse. Memory has been fading as well as "thinking." I have not worked for the last 14 months; on long-term disability through my employer and was approved for SSD benefits in 11/2010. After 4 years on Avonex, I've switched to Copaxone 5/2010. My husband is my care partner - thank goodness for him.
