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 My ms is no longer active and the lesions are now described as ‘black holes’ where there is damage to axons.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...

Secondary Progressive MS ?

Advance apologies as you might need to bear with me on this one. Following a very recent (Monday) visit to my ‘new’ super-duper neurologist (the new super-duper one is a ‘MS specialist neurologist’ opposed to the old ‘just a regular neurologist’ < soooo effectively the same but just with a more imp...

Copaxone for active secondary progressive MS

Hi, my neuro believes that I am now on a path of secondary progressive. My relapse rate has increased and my ability to walk is becoming more and more restricted with high levels of pain in there too. They have started me on Copaxone and it's all being delivered today. Any hints or tips from fellow ...

Secondary progressive MS

Hi my mum has had MS for 40 + years and done well over the years. She’s in the secondary progressive stage and it seems she’s had an attack recently that has now affected her arms as well as her legs. I didn’t think you got attacks with SP ? I don’t know anyone who’s had MS as long as my mum

Secondary progressive

Yeah my diagnosis has been upgraded to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and it honestly scares me a bit. I'm alone for nearly 15 years now and I don't even have a way to get out and meet others. I'm very positive and have a great sense of humor and I wish I could get out to just make friends...

secondary progressive

Like I said to the neurologist, I guess the clue's in the name! Most people I know with MS are younger than me and have Relapsing Remitting. I went to a seminar once when I was surprised to hear of other MSers who had run the marathon, and at other times, they are disabled in some way. Whilst my con...

RRMS to secondary progressive MS

I was wondering at what age MS changes from relapsing/remitting to secondary progressive. I think that for the majority of MSers it is around 50 - or am I totally wrong and age does not play a role?
