I hope that's the way it works for you, Dear One..
I agree and think it is important to make plans now for the what-ifs. Hopefully we won't need to face the worse case but if we do we will be better prepared than if we never considered this posibility.

Thank you all for your input. I don't know where I'd be without y'all!

I agree it is important to plan for the "what if's", but at the same time we should not allow the possibility of the progressing to SPMS to control our lives.

I agree, Barb. I think a good philosophy to have is: "Expect the worst, hope for the best."

I think I had RRMS early on. I remember when my symptoms would come and go. Mine progressed, but the way I look at it is, I can adapt. I always have, and it's not that bad. I don't look at what I could do and cry anymore. I just think..ok, is there a way I can do this, and if not, what else can I do. For me I'm an artist, so I switched from painting to photography for now, and am working on learning to paint with my hands not working.

I don't worry about the progression at all anymore, I just wonder how I'll have to adapt.
