Thanks for posting this Kyle. It was an interesting article. If they can really figure out what is the primary underlying problem, better and more effective treatments will be forthcoming. What I really liked though, was the assertion that more attention needs to placed on Primary Progressive MS. Up to now, there just haven't been many options to our friends that have progressive MS.

Prediction of long term clinical outcome in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) has important clinical implications, in both the design of treatment trials and in providing prognostic advice to individual patients.

Approximately 50% of patients with RRMS convert to Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) within 10 years of disease onset. After 30 years, this figure rises to 90%. At any one time, the Relapsing-Remitting form of the disease accounts around 55% of all people with multiple sclerosis. SPMS is characterised by a steady progression of clinical neurological damage with or without superimposed relapses and minor remissions and plateaux.

We seem to have this discussion interminably and yet the types of MS still seem elusive. Just to satisfy my own curiosity, I got my hands on a copy of the article on which the current four clinical types are based: Defining the clinical course of multiple sclerosis: results of an international survey by Fred D.

Late onset multiple sclerosis (LOMS), defined as the first presentation of clinical symptoms in patients over 50, is not a rare phenomenon as previously thought, since the prevalence ranges between 4% and 9.6% in different studies. The course of the disease is often primary progressive and pyramidal or cerebellar involvement is observed in 60%-70% of the patients at presentation.

Hi and welcome, Q: " if I do have this, am I going to die young?" A: The most inportant word in this question is 'if' and even IF you do end up being diagnosed with a neurological condition like MS, the answer would be No, because MS is not that type of medical condition. Q: "What is the life expectancy for someone that is diagnosed at 18?
