Actually, a progression is different then a flare, since "flare" implies that there may be a remittance involved. A progression just goes where it's going and stops there. Usually mine involve an upgrade in spasticity and weakness and taking steps closer to paralysis. Dealing with it means getting flexible with finding new and creative ways to transfer, and being careful to take the phone with me everywhere so I can call for help when I need it. Usually I fall a lot during a progression, until it levels out and I get with the new program of lifestyle. I haven't yet hurt myself in a fall. I guess I learned how in my former life of riding horses. I do have some interesting bruises, though.

I've always thought Ms. Turner was on to something.
