Have u or any1 u know ever had relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis that turned into progressive MS?

Patients beginning with RR-MS can then enter a phase where relapses are rare but more disability accumulates, and are said to have the Secondary-Progressive (SP) type of multiple sclerosis. About 50% of RR-MS patients will develop SP-MS within 10 years.

Here's a easy to understand article http://www.medicinenet.com/multiple_scle...
I also like the "MS for Dummies" book. For me MS was the devil I knew since my mom and aunt have it. But the book was a good reference for my husband. Plus there were tips I hadn't heard of or thought about.

My mom, aunt and I all have RR-MS.

Hello.
I am 50 yr old F.I have had MS for many years.I am very lucky that I have never progressed past RR. I have a friend that has had MS for more than 30 years. Her MS changed to SPMS after 25 years. (she is in her mid 60's now). She uses a power chair when out of the house,it makes mall shopping so much easier for her.Other than that her life is very normal
