i was just diagnosed for sure in jan/2005, so this is all i have known. it is recurring/remitting because i was given an MRI in 2003, but a subsequent one, i was told, showed it was not getting worse. then, in fall 2004, i fell really hard and broke some ribs and had another MRI and the neurologist said the one that i was told that showed it wasn't getting worse actually was and so i had a 3 hour MRI... then a Dec. 2004 lumbar puncture, then Jan 2005 the results showed positive MS also.
i also went to Anthony Reder at the Univ. of Chicago and he agreed it was Secondary Progressive. my neuro is here in Peoria, IL but i wish i could see Dr. Reder on a regular basis, but its so far.
