I don't have PPMS, I guess I'm labeled SPMS, after having been RRMS for many years. MS is a mean disease and has no favorites. It's an equal opertunity employer.

IMO, PPMS starts out progressive and you never really have a remittance, but I believe there is a platteau for PPMS. It may be different for each individual, but will happen.

There is only one Type of MS that never stops until you are bedridden or die and it is very very rare. I don't know anyone who has had it, so don't worry about that.

Be well!!
