On occasion: Most often, only one arm is severely afflicted, and other relatively spared, if therapy fails to blunt or stop progression. The key item, is to take potent effective meds such as Tysabri (natalizumab) or Gilenya, as the ultimate goal is to avoid disability, and prevent transition to the secondary progressive phase.
