MS
Different types of MS
Although it is different for every person, there are three main types of MS which you might hear being talked about:
- Relapsing remitting MS: This is the most common form of MS. It means that people have some times when their symptoms are quite bad (known as relapses), and some times when they seem ok again (known as remission). These periods of time can be weeks or months and this can go on for the rest of a person’s life.
- Secondary progressive MS: This is when someone started having periods of both relapse and remission, but over time it gradually gets worse and some of the symptoms don’t go away at all.
- Primary progressive MS: This is when people’s symptoms continue to get worse with no improvement or periods of remission.
