\Q\.Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) - ANSWERS✔-Periods of acute worsening
of neurologic function, with some degree of recovery. There is o progression in between.
About 85% individuals are dx with RRMS initially
\Q\.How often can remissions occur in RRMS? - ANSWERS✔-Remissions can be months to years
with no new signs of disease activity. Deficits suffered during attacks or exacerbation may
totally resolve or result in ongoing deficits.
\Q\.Secondary Progressive (SPMS) - ANSWERS✔-Following an initial relapse remitting course,
the disease transitions in many people to a steadily progressive form with increased loss of
function. OF the 85% who start with RRMS, more than 50% will develop SPMA within 10 years
and 90% within 25 years.
, \Q\.Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) - ANSWERS✔-Continuing worsening of
disease from onset, without distinct relapses. Approximately 10% of people are dx with PPMS.
\Q\.Progressive-Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) - ANSWERS✔-Progressive neurologic
decline with occasional acute relapses. About 5% of people appear to have PRMS at diagnosis.
