Starting a new thread, rather than hijacking another one.
I've seen a few people mention that they were given a prognosis of "mild" or "benign" MS. I'm confused by that, because I thought MS was so varied. I've read about mild or benign CASES of MS, based on disability, progression, or lesion load.
But what do they point to in order to know what the future holds?
If you've been given a prognosis of mild MS, can you help me out? Did your neuro have clinical findings pointing to a more mild future course? Or was he/she just looking at the normal risk factors like age, sex, RRMS, and making a statistical evaluation?
I'd give a lot to find a neuro who could/would give me an expected disease course. Mine basically says it's not bad now, but MS is unpredictable, past performance doesn't guarantee future success, YMMV, yada yada yada.
