The nearest neurologist is 60 miles away, over a mountain pass that is closed quite a bit from November to April. A specialist is over 200 miles away. So I guess I am lucky that I can even find a neurologist to take care of me

Living in a rural area does make it hard to find good care. The closest neurologist to where I live is 30 miles away. The nearest MS specialist is 60

Most cases of tumefactive MS actually develop into relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) over time. While tumefactive MS starts with unique characteristics, like large brain masses that can resemble tumors, its progression pattern can vary between individuals.
The disease can follow different courses: it might progress rapidly over weeks or months without remission, show a relapsing pattern with periods of improvement followed by symptoms returning, or even present as a single attack followed by no further symptoms. What's most important is focusing on managing your specific symptoms and working with your healthcare team to find the most effective treatment approach. Treatment options may include corticosteroids, therapeutic plasma exchange, or specialized rehabilitation, depending on your individual needs and symptoms.
