MS and mobility issues

MS is a condition that can cause a number of different symptoms and it is difficult to predict what symptoms an individual may experience. There are three main types of MS – relapsing-remitting, primary progressive and secondary progressive. Relapsing-remitting MS is where an individual will experience periods of time where their symptoms will flare up and periods of time where they will not be noticeable. Primary progressive is where the symptoms will increase over time and secondary progressive is when an individual with relapsing-remitting MS no longer has periods of time where they experience no symptoms.
