Most people are first diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS. This means they experience a relapse or flare up of symptoms (also known as an attack or exacerbation) followed by remission (a period of recovery).

Most people who start out with relapsing remitting MS later develop a form that is known as secondary progressive MS. 

People with relapsing remitting MS who only have a small number of relapses, followed by a complete recovery, may be described as having benign MS. 

Primary progressive MS is a relatively unusual form of MS which tends to be diagnosed in older people, usually in their forties or later. 

MS Ireland is calling on participants of all ages and abilities to take up the month-long May 50K fitness challenge in May in the run up to World MS Day on May 30th.
