A recent relapse affecting areas that have not been affected before is always distressing. However, it does necessarily mean that your illness will become aggressive at this point. Attacks are not usually the same each time, and random chance often dictates that new areas will be affected at some time. The fact that a new area is affected does not mean that you will now have ongoing gradual progression (referred to as secondary progressive MS).
