I have heard this about PPMS and you are right it does suck! What do you think it might be if not MS?

At the program I attended yesterday, the neurologist said there are two criteria for diagnosis of MS....

1 - Poser (old)
http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/Posercriteria.html

2 and the McDonald (new)
http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/DiagnosticCriteria.html

I hope this helps! I tried to find this laid out easy to read in NMSS and other reputable sites, and actually one of them sent me to this!
