Amy, are you sure he said "PPMS" and not just "progressive MS"?

The reason I ask is that they don't normally assess PPMS for the first few years; they would normally expect to see more spinal lesion activity and less brain lesion activity in the beginning, remissions do not occur so much, and "enhancing" lesions are far less prevalent in PPMS.

If it was "progressive RRMS" he meant, then your background seems to make more sense to me.
