Yes, there are potentially four types of multiple sclerosis that are basically defined by their symptomology. Benign multiple sclerosis is just as the name would suggest. This is the type of MS that does not get worse with time, nor will it cause any permanent disability. It has been suggested that approximately twenty percent of all MS cases are benign multiple sclerosis.

Relapsing - remitting MS exhibits by intermittent relapses in which a person may have a worsening of their current multiple sclerosis symptoms or possibly they may experience an MS exacerbation that has new symptoms. Whatever the case, the person will have a full or partial recovery from the symptoms. A person in this situation will appear to go into remission, and this remission could last for months before another MS relapse.

Primary - progressive multiple sclerosis affects approximately 12 percent of all MS cases. This type of MS will progressively get worse. Often, persons with motor problems or difficulty walking at the time they are diagnosed have this type of multiple sclerosis.

The last type of multiple sclerosis that has been identified is secondary - progressive MS. This is thought to be another phase of relapsing and remitting MS. Why? Because with secondary progressive MS, between 5 and 20 years after the diagnosis of the former a person will begin having more relapses with less time spent in remission (and this is never a complete remission of the exacerbated symptoms).

Some studies have suggested there is a fifth type of MS, known as progressive - relapsing, that begins with a diagnosis of primary progressive MS, with periods of relapse and remission. This type of multiple sclerosis affects a very small portion of the total number of MS patients.
