I just joined these boards but I think I probably have PPMS. My neuro is not agreeing with me because a) I'm only 29 (turning 30 this month though!), b) I was only diagnosed with MS a year ago, and c) there are no treatments for PPMS.

I have brain lesions but I also have plenty of spinal lesions that extend into my upper L-spine.

My first symptoms was numbness in my legs and bladder urgency. It's progressed to now having extreme bladder problems (trouble voiding and living in adult underwear) and needing a cane to walk. I can't pinpoint relapses, it's been a gradual but relatively fast progression to where I'm at now.

My neuro is not willing to give up on me and is starting me on Betaseron this week. I'm not as confident that there will be results as I would be if I had clear RRMS.
