Is there a way to prevent SPMS?
From what I’ve understand dmts cut down mainly on relapses -some on disability accumulation-, but none can prevent the onset of SPMS. Have I gotten this right?
Is there any hope on that regard?

Hopefully there is now, when I was dxd 25 years ago there was no choice, soI was told the rrms would become 2ndp in 10-15 years, it took 23 so I'm not complaining but things have moved in leaps and bounds since then and so much has happened and so many things have changed, but each of us is so different and one size doesn't fit all!
I was diagnosed with Rapid SPMS late last year, seemingly bypassing the RRMS stage, although judging by my MRI Scan they believe I have had MS for several years unknowingly confusing the symptoms with Diabetes issues such as Hypos etc. As far as I'm aware any Drugs/Treatments you are on are meant to delay/prolong the onset of SPMS/PPMS. I guess that it's a case of trial and error, see what works and doesn't work.
