    Thanks for your post.  I'm a moderator for the site and although I am not medically trained I can try and help get answers for your questions.

     

    First, I'm sure you already know you can discuss any concerns with your doctor.  It's always important to get a trained opinion.

     

    In the meantime, it might be helpful to read about the disease in Understanding MS.  In the introduction section it discusses that there are two categories (if you will) - Relapsing-Remitting MS and Chronic Progressive MS.

     

    You can also find sections on the general aspects of the disease, causes, and treatments and so much more.

     

    Hope this helps you find your answers, please let me know if you are looking for more or something else - I'll try to help.

     

    All the best, sue
