Last month we reached out with an opinion check and asked you if healthcare professionals should discuss progression at diagnosis. While 17% of you said you’d prefer to be told later on, around 75% said yes, you would prefer to be told about progression at diagnosis. In the second of our progressi...

Secondary Progressive

Hello everyone. Just joined! I have secondary progressive ms with multiple lesions on spinal cord. My ms is no longer active and the lesions are now described as ‘black holes’ where there is damage to axons. Bottom line is, there is no treatment now. Siponimod was a consideration at one point but it...

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.

Hi everyone, I’m new here so I’ll just tell you a bit about myself. I was struck down with secondary progressive ms in 2016 with no warning a numb big toe on Sunday and paralysis to my left side by the Thursday! Do any of you guys have a sibling or family member who has ms ? I’ve been told it isn’t hereditary, but my sister had it before me and very sadly she passed away in February 2021, to advanced ms and Covid pneumonitis 😢

Just saw sm negative… Let us change it, how long has it been without progression on your DMT

On another place someone said how quickly they were disabled after Ms. What about you guys, how long has it been that you haven’t had progression while being on a DMT! I’m starting treatment sooon, and am in desperate need of it.
