Types of multiple sclerosis
As you may know there are quite a few types of multiple sclerosis. Though if our previous polling is to be believed (and it concers with previous research I’ve conducted) around 60% of people with multiple sclerosis have been told they have relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Though a surprisingly high number do not know do not know into which group they fall. Around 7% in fact!
So why am I writing this blog?
Well one of the features of multiple sclerosis (which a number of our readers have mentioned here or on on MultipleSclerosisTalk) is that the type that a PwMS is diagnosed with can change overtime. Normally is is from relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis to another type , such as, progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis.
The aim of this blog is firstly to find out how common this occurrence is amongst our readers. So firstly we would ask you to take the poll below.
Secondly we were wondering if you could use the comments box below to share a few answers to the following questions:-
1) With which type of multiple sclerosis we you originally diagnosed? Which type did it change to?
2) How did you find out? Had you noticed any changed in your multiple sclerosis prior to this?
3) How has your MS treatment journey changed since the new diagnosis?
4) How did the change impact upon the life in general?
Please feel free to use the comments section below to share your answers or, indeed, add any part of your multiple sclerosis story you think will be of interest to our readers.
Many thanks in advance.
