On another board where I spend time, there is a separate forum for those with PPMS and SPMS. I very rarely go there, maybe once every three or four months, even though there is much information that would be helpful and/or interesting to me.

Why?

Well, one reason is that I just don't have the time or energy to read every thread on every board. I haven't even plumbed the depths of all the forums here yet, can you believe it?

But I think the main reason is denial. Am I Secondary Progressive yet? Is it just a matter of time?

I think my defense mechanism is, "the progressive forum is not about me, so no point going there." If I see something "those people" are talking about that sounds familiar, I might have to be realistic. Ha. Fat chance of THAT happening.
