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

He definately said primary progressive, both my husband and I heard him and asked him what that meant. And because I have not seen this Dr. face to face for more than 30 minutes, and from other suggestions, I am going to look for another opinion. I have too many questions that I don't feel were answered, and not only that, I would have hoped that he would have given information about things I would not have known to ask about, if that makes sense.
