Second progressive

[Fit Paul]

Is it possible to have secondary progressive (SP) M.S and still have the occasional exacerbation? The reason that I ask is that my last neurologist and I felt that I am SPEECHLESS but for the last weak I have had bad dizziness whenever I am up and moving, it came on fast and strong like an exacerbation. I'm confused.

I am not speechless, NEVER have been. I ment to say secondary progressive. Sorry.

Paul, yes, people with secondary progressive MS can have exacerbations. Without an MRI, my neurologist needs to see a new symptom in order to consider it an exacerbation, otherwise it is hard to differentiate between an exacerbation or just worsening of symptoms.
