How do you know if you’ve moved from RRMS to SPMS?

So how did you know you needed a cane or something to help you walk?

Curious what you all would describe your personality as?

I read a book called “When the Body Says No” by Gabor Maté where he talks about studies being done on personality traits associated with different diseases. Reading the parts about MS felt like they were written specifically about me. Curious if anyone might describe themselves as type A, a people p...
