Living the MS Life: Primary Progressive MS

Primary Progressive MS is the saddest MS course to me. About 10% of people with MS have PPMS. From the beginning one who has this type has gradual continual worsening of MS symptoms. There may be a little fluctuation and temporary improvement but no relapses. There is no real treatment for this type of MS and most have trouble walking in various degrees. My Mom had Primary Progressive MS and it was so upsetting to see her get worse right before my eyes and I could do nothing.
