Primary Progressive

Lesions on the spine

10-15% of those diagnosed with MS have Primary-progressive. Primary-progresive MS is often shortened to PPMS.  When an individual has PPMS the syptoms come slower than RRMS. There are less lesions on the brain and more on the spinal cord.  Unlike RRMS, those with PPMS do no have times of remission.  The symptoms come slowly and do not go away.
