Accurate! I was diagnosed with RRMS at 25. Had three kids by 31 and felt great while pregnant and between pregnancies. Ran marathons and was able to keep up with everything I wanted to do in my life and then a quick hormone shift of perimenopause at 33 into menopause nearly killed me…had every symptom in the book (brain fog, migraines, sleep loss, weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, no libido and busted parts, dry skin & hair, cystic acne, joint pain, vision change, and depression and moodiness). Suffered for years before I found a doctor who would treat me for early menopause, but now that I’m on HRT I feel like I’m slowly coming back to myself. In my experience the right hormones are life-giving.

Great to see this information being shared, as a person with MS, trying to explain what it is, what it does and how that affects me is frustrating and at times exhausting. Another thing to note, is that the majority of people with MS do not progress to having to use a wheelchair.
