Hi Starznight,

It appears you are having an exacerbation (relapse, attack, flare-up).

Unfortunately for me though is that this means my dx might go to secondary progressive when I meet with my new neuro
Don't expect the new Neurologist to put you in the SPMS category as you currently do not fit it. You are experiencing an exacerbation which is normal for RRMS.

This article from the National MS Society should help you to understand SPMS better:
Diagnosing secondary progressive MS (SPMS) : National Multiple Sclerosis Society

This is a description of the different types of MS:
Types of MS : National Multiple Sclerosis Society

Hope your exacerbation resolves soon.
