Progressive Solitary Sclerosis (PSS) is indeed a rare variant of MS, characterized by a single lesion — and having it located at the craniomedullary junction makes it even more unique. It's completely understandable to want to connect with others who truly "get it."

Because PSS is so rare, finding others with the exact same experience can feel isolating. However, MyMSTeam is a great place to post about your specific experience — many members have rare or unusual MS presentations and actively seek others like them.

A few things worth knowing about single spinal lesions in MS:

- The craniomedullary junction is a sensitive area where the brain meets the spinal cord
- Lesions in this region can affect motor function, balance, and sensation
- Even a single lesion in a critical location can cause significant symptoms
- Regular MRI monitoring is especially important to track any changes

It's really worth discussing with your neurologist how PSS specifically affects your treatment plan, as management may differ from more typical MS presentations.

You are definitely not alone in navigating a rare MS variant, even if it sometimes feels that way! 💙
