Primary Progressive

So today I was told that I likely have Primary Progressive MS. Immediately I started doing research and I am just so bummed. I was really hoping this thing wouldn’t take too much from me but that doesn’t seem to be likely now.

Primary Progressive

New here, I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago but when I think back I’m pretty sure I’ve had MS for at least 20 years. Last time I saw my neurologist she said I was at primary progressive and has kept me off of meds. I feel physically that I have progressed since I’ve last seen here…I go and see her nex...

Advanced Aggressive Primary Progressive

I struggle every moment of every day and my case is so advanced that I’m close to needing a wheelchair. I was an athlete and a genius iQ of 140! Now I can’t remember the name of my best friend if I don’t sit and think for a second. I cannot jump hurdles anymore. I was an all state won first place i...

primary progressive anyone?

I recently got diagnosed with primary progressive MS. I know that any type is bad but when ever i talk to anyone about it they say "it's not that bad", "i have a friend with it"..... and it always turns out they have the remitting one. Does any one with the progressive kind, feel trapped? and doomed

Trouble walking with Primary Progressive MS

When I was diagnosed with MS in June of 2020, I could only walk for a few minutes at a time. I had steroids then which drastically improved my walking, but now I'm back where I started. I can just walk for a few minutes, and even that's a struggle. Does anyone have tips on improving walking? I'm ter...

Primary Progressive MS - A touch Lost

Hello all, Well I don't know where to begin!? Guess I should start here. Joined this site nearly 4 years ago just after I was diagnosed. I have had this thing approximately 20 years. Not on any medication, not that there seems to be much, the same as help with this - not much. I suppose when I w...

HSCT Primary Progressive MS

Has anyone gotten the HSCT procedure that has primary progressive MS? I spoke with one of Selma Blair's friends who had it done and she suggested a Mexico clinic for PP MS. I heard Mexico and didn't think that sounded safe, but I'm just beginning to learn about HSCT and it's benefits. The whole p...

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Last year, when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my world ended. I have heard stories of how autoimmune disorders ruin lives, so I believed that's what would happen to me. Over the past year, I've read more literature, and read some success stories. One story that I've read was a book wr...

No help.

I've had primary progressive ms for about seven years now and have never been offered any treatments, does it depend on where you live.
