I have had MS since 1983. I am now in PPMS phase, any others share the same?

  1. Hi there, ! That’s a long time to be living with MS, and PPMS on top of that can feel like a whole different shift compared to earlier phases. But while you wait for others to share their experience, I want to share a link to a thread where members have spoken about their journey with PPMS in a previous discussion thread. You can access the thread here- https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/life-ppms. I hope you find reassurance and comfort in knowing that others have been where are you. Stay encouraged and I wish you the best on your journey. Kindly, Latoya (Team Member)

  2. Hi SALLICAT, I also have PPMS. I was diagnosed in 2013, but first noticed symptoms around 2000. I'm 70 and use a manual wheelchair with a little assist motor. I can stand for about a minute and can walk using a walker or crutches for about 15 feet but it's scary to watch and even scarier to be me doing it.
