Unfortunately I read up on progression of MS after my DIL told me this, and frankly I was startled by all I learned about progression. I haven't gone there because I was told my case was "mild". I don't think my neuro would use that term any longer, since more and more sxs keep cropping up and staying, inhibiting mobility inch by inch. Granted I still push through it and do exercise, clean, etc., but it is more difficult. DH bought a riding lawn mower so now I am officially retired from mowing the lawn-just got too darn fatigued and my legs hurt like he77 hours later from it. I used to love mowing...now I'm relieved that I'm retired

Progression is the dirty word all of us with RRMS don't like to hear or say, but I think realistically we have to be mindful of it as the years go by after dx. I was even more alarmed by the number of medical articles that stated that if a patient is dxd later in life (50s) it progresses more quickly. Great...
