It is important to remember that MS is only one part of a person and not the person.
MS does not represent them, it is not their identity, they are as normal as the next person.

Benign MS - sub-group of Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS)
Describes the disease in those who have had MS for fifteen or more years without picking up any enduring disability, with negligible neurological symptoms and no serious or continuing disabilities.
Those classified with Benign MS have mild, infrequent, sensory exacerbations with a full recovery.
After one or two attacks with complete recovery and without any disability, this form of MS does not worsen with time and there is no permanent disability or disease progression.
- Benign MS tends to display non-
visible sensory symptoms at onset and does not display any motor symptoms. - Benign MS may only be positively identified after there is minimal disability 10 to 15 years following its official onset.
- Some classified with Benign MS will eventually experience disease progression; their course of disease will change and evolve into the Progressive stages of MS.
- Benign MS is one of the least common forms of the disease.
