Yea, waiting is hard!
Doing all you can for as long as you can is important! I don't think my son does as much as he could, but in part it's my fault too. I have health issues of my own to fight and sometimes it's easier on me not to push or help him do things he should or could. I do make him get his own breakfast and lunch. He also manages to load the wood stove a couple times a day. Many people with milder forms can keep working for many years. It all depends on what form and how stubborn you are. When my son was diagnosed he was working where they make those big cement beams for bridges and such, He had to quit because it was too dangerous to do that type of work. Matter of fact it was a fall on the job that got him to the doctor where the found the MS! However I know people that have less physical jobs that they did for many years.
I think the reason why what little information you found was so vague is because there is such a spectrum of symptoms and types and so little is really known about it that it's hard to pin down. What works for one may not work for another. One person could be wheelchair bound within a year while another may only have fairly mild bouts for 5- 15 years or more!
Again... Good Luck!
