SPMS?

How do you know when you are SPMS?

I've only been DX with RRMS since June 07, now Oct 07 I'm DXed with possible SPMS. I have never recovered from my last relapse, (which I didn't even know was a relapse) the beginning of this year.

So here I am...progressing with something I didn't even know I had. Oh sure...it does explain all the weird stuff going on with my body for over 20 years. So I have never been on any meds until now. I'm taking Rebif, but is it too late?

I've read the posts...there are meds I would like to try. I know LDN has been kicked around. It seems even those that have tried LDN had tried one or some of the CRAB drugs. Did they get a benefit from them? Maybe it did slow the progression? How do you know where you would be today if you hadn't had them at all?

I would like to hear from the SPMS especially....What was your turning point?

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your comments!

I have SPMS, I have had no clinical excerbations in about 1 and a half, but been having gradual worsening of my symptoms and in general not getting better....my last relapse was loss of legs for over 2 weeks that was a long time ago and I got better(but not to wear I got walk with out assistance)
Now, I am in a wheel chair when I am in puublic and I just find alot more symptoms and challenges then what I used to have...does that make sense.
For me that is what made my dx with SPMS

as for the CRAB drugs I have yet to find one that doesn't make me so dang sick or and allergic reaction....I can't take LDN becuz I am on opiate pain therapy and if I quit that I wouldn't be able to move, becuz of the dang pain. I do take baclofen for muscle spasms and spasticity and it works well.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
