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.

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.
