I am a 38 year old male from Nova Scotia, Canada In 2005, I had a numbness all over my face that lasted for a whole month. Two months later, I developed optic neuritis in my left eye which was confirmed to be MS by an MRI a few months later. I have had 1 relapse since then with optic neuritis in my right eye. The relapse lasted for 4 months. Anxiety has become a big part of my life since diagnosis, but life is still fun, just not as spontaneous. Positivity is the only things that has kept me going.
