    Newly Diagnosed

    What age were you diagnosed?

    I don't know if this has been asked or not, but I'm just curious as to what age everyone was diagnosed? I was diagnosed when I was 32 years old. I was told by my Doctor that symptoms and onset generally started when someone was in "early middle age". I'm just curious if this is a common theme...
