Wow, this is news to me. I have had MS since I was diagnosed with RRMS in 1993. Since I have a low disability number, I would probably currently be listed as someone with benign MS. I had the impression that the first 10 years was pretty indicative of what will most likely happen in the future. I did have a couple really bad MS attacks early on, with lots of vertigo and coordination problems, but they didn't last too long. This new study is pretty scary since the disease sounds even more unpredictable than I thought. I'm praying that the significant amount of dietary changes I have made (particularly gluten & dairy free eating) will help. It has helped me to feel a lot better in other ways, so that's good at least...
