Ya know we all have MS, but we all have a different disease. It affects eveyone differently, and no two courses of this disease are the same.

My doc thought I would be secondary progressive within two years and profoundly disabled within five years - based on clinical and MRI presentation. Here I am - albeit slowly sometimes still on two legs and mostly functioning well after 11 years.

Will it stay that way? Who knows? I might crash tomorrow. I know as a woman I am lucky enough to have a better prognosis, but even so.....we got a lottery ticket on our Dx day. We just have to wait and see if the odds are in our favour.

yep, MS is like fingerprints. no one has the same set. There are folks running around with 30 lesions in their head and skip thru their day and then there are those who have 4 with severe sx. One lesion in the wrong place and your course is going to be different.

My stuff is visual, and cognitive impairment along with the MS hug. I do drag my left leg when I am in flare but between flares it is only buzzy. in flare I am blind, and cant function, but inbetween flares im challenged but good to go. I have one or two flares per year. Some folks have them every month.

Its like a box of chocolates, you just nevah know what yur gonna git.
