Hi, I'm Raeann. I started having symptoms in 2001, but wasn't diagnosed until February 2014. I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting.I have never had a relapse, or I have been in a relapse since 2001; but I have had steadily worsening symptoms. In April, my neuro said I now have secondary progressive. I suffer from the majority of common symptoms, save optic neuritis, as well as an assortment of the not so common ones. I have good days and bad, who doesn't. I don't go for the slogans that "MS doesn't have me" because, dang it, it does. Every single move I make is influenced by MS. It sucks, but this is the hand I was dealt. So here I am, playing these cards, to the best of my ability.

Hello Raeann, (@raegun67). Welcome to Mayo Connect.

I am sorry to hear that your MS is progressing - I'm sure that must be disheartening. Share with us, if you will, some of your more uncomfortable symptoms. Have you had any physical therapy yet? Water exercise can be quite good for MS because you don't get overheated. Have you tried any other treatments?
