UPDATE: MARCH 2024

The RRMS diagnosis of 2007 (Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis) is now being reconsidered as SPMS (Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis) which is a common result of age progression. Being in my mid-seventies, this is not a surprise. Neither is the co-morbidity label of Parkinsonism (one of the sub sets of (Parkinson’s disease.) I am now on a trial prescription of Levodopa to see if the medication is effective in helping to reduce the Parkinsonian symptoms of tremor, confusion, etc. One begins at a low dose and efficacy is not typically seen until weeks later, when the neurologist has had time to assess results and adjust the dosage.
