There are three different types of MS:

1. Relapsing remitting MS - RRMS

2. Primary profressive MS - PPMS

3. Secondary progressive MS - SPMS

What type is your MS? How did you find out about your type? What tests did you have to do to determine it?

Actually I can think of at least two more types: benign and relapsing secondary progressive. And some people would say there are as many types of MS as theee are people with MS.

The main thing I am getting from people is that with MS we all have different symptoms?  These seem to be mild and slowly creep up and increase in severity.At the moment I can't identify a pattern to the problems I have,they seem to have a mind of their own.

Some of the disabilities I have is what I would call muscle spasms mainly in my legs but in the last 3 weeks I've had these in my chest,they have happened twice so far.

I suppose we have no choice other than seeing what will develop over the weeks and months ahead.
