PPMS is Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis - for me that has meant progression only, never a remittance. From no one would suspect (me, doctors) to a variety of aids (crutches, walker, etc) to current use of power chair

I think I've hit plateaus twice, I think I am currently in one. My PPMS tends to be very physical - I can't walk, am in a chair - but cognitively seem ok (Other than expected age-related stuff) Everyone is so different - symptoms and approach to MS. (DMDs, diet, nutrition, etc,)

When first diagnosed I read too much and waited for stuff that never happened to me. I believe in being educated and informed but was making myself crazy.
Best to deal with what actually happens.
