Progressive- relapsing, secondary-progressive, primary-progressive or relapsing-remiting
Primary progressive
Progressive disease from onset w super imposed acute attacks or relapses that may or may not have recovery.
Progressive- relapsing, secondary-progressive, primary-progressive or relapsing-remiting
Progressive relapsing
Begins w relapsing remiting course followed by steady disease progression w no distinct period of remission.
Progressive- relapsing, secondary-progressive, primary-progressive or relapsing-remiting
Secondary- progressive
