Multiple Sclerosis typically presents its first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 50. MS has been known to present in young children (Pediatric MS) and in significantly older adults.
One has about a 13% chance of developing MS symptoms prior to age 20, but once an adult crosses age 50, the likelihood of developing MS drops to about 7%. Studies have shown that 2 to 5% of people diagnosed with MS had symptoms of the disease while they were still children (younger than 18).

∙ 15y agoMS symptoms generally appear between the ages of 20 and 50, although very young children and significantly older adults can develop MS. Researchers are still trying to determine why some children develop MS, and why some significantly older adults tend to be diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS, which generally only affects their ability to walk.

∙ 14y agoMultiple Sclerosis usually presents in individuals between ages 20 and 50, although pediatric MS can occur in young children, and MS can also be diagnosed in significantly older adults. There is, however, only a 13% chance (based on current statistics) of someone below age 20 developing MS, and the risk of developing MS drops to 7% for persons over age 50.

∙ 15y agoMultiple Sclerosis is a development in your bones so it usually is there from an early early age and progressively gets worse. The worst part is you might not find out you have it until later on in life. Usually when you start to notice constant back pains you should see your local GP to get an xray.
