progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis
progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis (ms) is a rare form of ms that causes steady damage to nerves when symptoms first appear and continues to cause progressive worsening. relapses (disease flare-ups) occur, followed by full or partial recovery, but nerve damage continues and symptoms become increasingly disabling.
symptoms of ms include:
- weakness, leg dragging, and stiffness.
- blurred, foggy, or hazy vision.
- tingling, a pins-and-needles sensation, and numbness.
there is no cure for ms.
