The result is a compelling and highly nuanced account of what bodily consciousness is, how it is possible, and how it can contribute to individual and communal flourishing.. -Mark Johnson, Knight Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Department of Philosophy, University of Oregon.
The Three Stages of MS. By Ashton Embry. Many people think MS has two stages: relapsing remitting (R-R MS) and secondary progressive. (SPMS). I see the MS disease process as having three distinct stages. The often ignored and perhaps. most critical stage of MS, is the first one which can be called Pre-clinical MS (PCMS).
In individuals with acute partial transverse myelitis and normal brain MRI, about 10-33 percent develop MS over a five to ten year period. If the brain MRI shows lesions, the transition rate to clinically definite MS is known to be quite high, in the range of 80 to 90 percent within a few years.
