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 😢

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

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?
