Some people who were RRMS and get told that they are now SPMS find it a relief because they are not constantly looking over their shoulder for a relapse about to pounce on them. For some people SPMS is actually more "stable" than constantly worrying about relapsing.
Totally agree that you are more stable and slow steady progression. No relapse’s , that’s how my neurologist explained it to me. I have been steady and no relapse for over ten years and going on 27 years of MS. Staying positive and keep moving forward and taking control is the key 🔑 to successful life 🙏👍. Ken 🐾🐾🤪
💜I appreciate you for sharing this. I’m in year 11 of Relapsing Remitting. Being grateful for what I can still do doesn’t take the fear away, but I remain hopeful...
I'm sorry you had to hear the words, but you have a great perspective and attitude. I suspected I was headed that way, but it did feel different hearing my neurologist suggest I might be there. I'm still doing well overall, and that's what, I think, is important. You're wise to focus on all you can do, rather than a label.
Yes, it’s just a label...an irritating label but, I love your take...pausing, also, to be thankful for all you have and can do. MS has made me a much more grateful person! I am thankful for that.
welcome to the club nobody wants to join!i was told that a few agos,the good thing is nothing has changed.......... just another day in the world of ms
ha you can now no that all those weird things going on are not you loosing it just the monster playing games with you ...go on your strong and can keep on doing all that you set your mind to do....we are warriors together and is doesn't matter what they call us we will keep on keeping on ...go girl you can for you CAN...still go do what you want to do...love and much happiness....
I don't want the monster to play games with me! (pounding fist on floor like toddler) but I will go on my strong, like you said. We ARE warriors together; thank you!
All you can do is keep on keeping on. I hope the label won't make you depressed. (I think it would me for a few days.) I think you have a better attitude than I do. Indulge in the biggest chocolate bar and add a Land O Lakes cocoa with that. The chocolate mint is to die for!
