from person to person when dealing with the diesease Multiple Sclerosis. .
One patient can experience extreme vision problems while another patient .
can have abmnormal sensations such as "numbness" or "pins and needles". .

four clinical courses of the disease. The four courses are relapse/remitting, .
primary progressive, secondary progressive and progressive/relapse. .
Relapse/remitting is the most common type of MS. People will experience .
relapses or attacks of acute worsening of neurologic function. Approximatly .
85% of patients with MS have this type. People with Primary Progressive .
will experience a slow but nearly continuous worsening of their disease from .
the start to finish. However, there are variations in rate of progression over .
time. Approximatly 10% of patients with MS have this type. MS patients .
with Secondary Progressive will experience a period of relapsing/remitting .
of the disease, followed by a steadily worsening disease course with or .
without occasional flare-ups. People that suffer from Progressive Relapse .
will experience a steadily worsening of the disease from the start but also .
have clear acute flare-ups, with or without recovery.
