Hello Cat-My dad was diagnosed rather late in life for MS. He was 47 at the time and had been hospitalized 2 different times for what they thought were a stroke and encephalitis. He finally went to Mayo clinic in MN and was diagnosed there with MS. He retired 3 years later but still did consulting work. When he has his flare ups he has little residual effect. Pretty much everything goes back to "normal". If he has some loss it is very slight. He still golfs 3-4 times a week here. He does have leg weakness and sometimes some speech difficulties(it's hard for us to understand him) and I would say short term memory loss. For him this disease has not gotten rapidly worse quickly as can happen to some people. They say there are really 8 different types of MS and they should be able to tell you more after the MRI with the contrast. I think-as with any disease-it will effect no two people exactly the same. I hope this has helped some and if you want to talk or need/want more info i would be happy to help you. Good Luck to you my dear-I will lift you up in my thoughts and prayers.
