    My brother was diagnosed with MS about 10 or 12 years ago, but has suspected something to be wrong since childhood. He is now 42. If you don't treat your MS it will get worse. Depending on how fast it is progressing, you'll know how fast it will get and how much worse. If you go for treatment, it will probably slow the progression a little bit. So it will still get worse, but slower. You should see a doctor and educate yourself. There are many new treatments coming out. Steroids, certain kemo drugs, etc. that may help. Hopefully even a cure. All the best.

    I was diagnosed with progressive MS 2 years ago. Because of my type, I feel it very important to receive my Betaseron injections as that is ALL that I have. I give myself one every other day. I dont like the reaction I sometimes get from them but I feel I dont have a choice. And I am also lucky that I have health insurance because a one month supply costs $1,600.00. We must try to treat our illness in hopes that it will slow the progression although there is no guaranty.

    If you have relapsing-remitting MS, there may be about 30-40% more frequent relapses. It is not entirely clear if the rate of progression is affected in the long run.

    Hopefully, as better treatments are developed, it will be possible to decisively slow the progression of the disease.

    The sad part is that it is unpredictable. Treatment should slow down the progress of the discease. Each person progresses differently. There is really no reason to delay treatment, it can only help.

    GOOD LUCK
