Is anyone here doing completely great with MS?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 28-year-old male who was recently diagnosed, and naturally, I’ve been checking this subreddit daily. Most of the posts I come across are negative, which I totally get—this disease is brutal.

On the bright side, I feel lucky to have been diagnosed relatively young and have already started Kesimpta. I still go on runs and for the most part feel like before my first attack(optic neuritis).

I’m curious though—has anyone here been doing really well while living with MS? I know most people who are managing well probably aren’t posting in this thread, but I’m still wondering. I hear a lot from others who say, “I know someone with MS, and they’re doing great,” but are they really? Or is it just an act?

EDIT:

Thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! I wasn’t expecting so many positive experiences. I’d love to respond to each of you, but there’s just so many...lol.

I’ll definitely come back to this post whenever I’m feeling down or unsure about this terrifying disease. It seems like staying active and making the most of the cards we’re dealt is the way forward.

Thanks again, everyone—keep pushing, and I wish you all the best!
