Disc Bulge

Hello All, I have PPMS - I think at least five or six years but diagnosed just over two.

Hi, I’m Shannon and new to the group. I’m 54 and was diagnosed with PPMS when I was 19. I’m wondering if anyone else feels that Menopause is making your symptoms worse? Thank you!

Looking for some local MSers

Hey, just joined this lovely group this week and looking for some contact with others local to me. I’m 51, diagnosed with PPMS- 17 months ago. I’m in Lanarkshire and it would be great to chat, to share ideas, to make some new friends

Looked since 2012 to find out what was wrong. In 2020 I was diagnosed with PPMS. Been fighting since. What puzzled me is as soon as I was diagnosed the progression has been off the wall very quick.
