Multiple Sclerosis
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.

Types and Progression
It is impossible to know precisely what course any individual case of MS will follow. Looking at the experiences of a group of MS people certain patterns appear to emerge (peoples stories), however when you focus on an individual it becomes impossible to fit any one pattern exactly to that person.
The type and progression pattern in that individual currently being experienced will not necessarily unfold into a fixed pattern for the future.
MS type (classification) and its progression - symptoms - relapses - remission plus
the various problems that may arise due to MS - is simply a method of trying to make
sense about what appears to be happening.
For most MS people the early stages progression follows a fluctuating unpredictable
pattern - ups and downs - starts and stops - alarm and confusion. Symptoms may last
for a few fleeting minutes, or persist for hours and days, or they may linger for
weeks, months and sometimes years.
Symptoms will - appear - disappear - reappear - some singularly or in combinations
while varying in intensity. . Any variation is possible and unpredictable.
