MSbelle, your doctor probably doesn't want to classify you as having PPMS (even if he believes you do) as insurance will not cover any DMD's for folks diagnosed as PPMS.

I think I'm SPMS but I'm still listed as RRMS on my medical records because my neuro wants to keep me on Tecfidera. Maybe he's right....maybe I'm not yet to the SPMS or PPMS point but some days it feels like it!
