Everybody is different. I'm PPMS, no spasms, no pain but I can't walk. My SIL just died suddenly with Heart failure. I reassured 23 year old DS people of my age seldom die (59, I'm an "old motha") and besides the MS i'm pretty healthy. When I Walk was good but kind of scary. When first DXed in 2002 I read too much and kept waiting for things to happen to me. Most didnt/haven't. I'm very live in the moment now. Worry never stops anything from happening. I never worried about MS and look what happened. Stuff I worried about never happened.
