Is this how it will Progress? I feel as of I am monoplising this forum - where is everyone?
Any way I have a serious question, I have been noticing my feet dragging more when walking and it being a huge effort to walk from A To B. This has been for a week or so, is this how it will progress? My ‘heavy legs’ just feel heavier, I’ve had PPMS since Oct 97. Oh! and I’m p**sed off at the thought.
Hi George, you are an inspiration to us all. It’s so often assumed that PPMS is a ‘fast progressing’ form of MS, and of course sadly for some people it is, but important to remind people, especially newly dx people, that it’s not like that for everyone. And even if it starts on a fast-progressing course, doesn’t mean it will continue like that.
Although some of my symptoms have progressed over the past couple of years (and some have gone away completely… used to have trouble swallowing… now it’s ok!), my walking is about the same. No better but no worse.
Good lord George 1973!!! (in memory of my hippy days!)
hello there, like you I was dxed in Oct 97, and, yes, this is how things will be, magic isn’t, you never know just what will be around the corner, you have the great adventure/worry if you will fall, hurt yourself etc, as I said, it’s magic, everyday is different, everyday poses new questions, new horizons, that’s the beauty of PPMS, what will today, tomorrow bring, oh the joy, the fun we have, brian
