Relapsing Remitting MS: 80% of patients diagnosed with MS, are diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting MS. In this stage patients have what doctors call "flareups," where some days are worse than others. The pain that the patient feels is numbness, tingling, and exhausting, all throughout their body. Every body is different, so these flare ups can last days or weeks, depending on the person.
Primary Progressive MS: 10% of patients diagnosed with MS, are diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS. These patients do not experience flareups, instead they have a gradual increase of pain and numbness. Slowly the disease begins to get worse, and is common to have plateaus over time.
Secondary Progressive MS: After being diagnosed, many secondary progressive patients experience a remission right off the bat. The progress of this type of MS is less gradual compared to primary progressive MS. These patients experience very few or no remissions at all within ten years of being diagnosed. As of right now there are no medications to defeat this type of disease.
Progressive Relapsing MS: Only 5% of patients experience this type of MS. From diagnose to death, these patients experience the most change in pain compared to other MS patients. Pain and numbness is experienced all over the body, with few limbs that do not have pain. The brain is specifically attacked and many experience neurological dysfunction due to the disease.
