Primary Progressive

[puppythreads]

FINALLY!  After a Probable MS diagnosis made 12 years ago, and about 6 neurologists later, with lots of waffling back and forth, I found a Dr. who compared 2 brain MR's simultaneously on two computers and was 100 percent sure it is MS.  That will go a long way toward helping with my disability case and he said explains all the brain fog issues I have been having.  He did, however, say that is is PPMS, which did not surprise me because I was 40 when I was initially sort of diagnosed and it has been a slow downward spiral ever since, with no periods of remission, but also no really bad spells.  Anyway, I wonder if any of you guys knows much about PPMS?  My neuro said it is not a very common form of the disease, and that to date he can only treat my symptoms.

I am glad you have a diagnosis. Be kind to yourself. I got a free book from the National MS Society on PPMS last week.

Remember every case of MS even PPMS is different from every other case. The Doctor's I have had it a long time and am still in good shape.
