when i get my medical eaxsmination form signed by my doctor has to check stable.. what is stable in secondary progressive
Lynn - At the moment, I am living my life with a stable SPMS. I know that there is an almost imperceptible decline, but I am fighting hard physically to challenge this. I also take 12 tablets a day to support my ambitions! From my regular posts, you will see that I have been able to 'hobble' (with a splint and two walking sticks), and am currently at 1151 miles, all for charity!
You describe it well @A MyMSTeam Member - an almost imperceptible decline 🤗

@A MyMSTeam Member. my neuro told me an exasperation will cause all previous symptoms to be more visible... what u describe and how i had that severe episode on diagnosis without having a clue i had anything wrong with me.. for 16 years i had single symptoms that just cleared up .. I thought it was a weight issue. then the diagnosing episode happened a sever widespread attack. ofsll the single symptoms i had exasperated all at once..
so a single flair will often cause all other flairs to act up.
its just gradual aging Wearing out of nerves. too soon cause of time spent in relapsing ms.
and me i using this to explain to dmv about sp ms...no more flare....just slow moving aging
.And aging is progressive
well the lesion part cant be used in sp... but i searched . sp can be active or inactive stable or not stable just like rr. .but in sp it said visible changes not lesions. i think i am stable sp. a long time ago when i was rr an sp person told me u dont really notice changes but every year u can do less.
