PPMS vs RRMS
Re: PPMS vs RRMS
Each person experiences this disease differently, for this reason it is important not to compare you're disease course to someone else's. I understand in your case it would be hard not to do. Progression has to do with disability.
Information on types of MS:

It would be a good idea for your husband to consult with his Neurologist.
Re: PPMS vs RRMS
Does your husband have relapses and remissions? If so then he has RRMS. Although it might be too early to tell based on the DX date. It could be that he is having a relapse and may recover somewhat from that.
How old was your husband when it started?
The age of onset is usually late 20s to mid 30s for RRMS and maybe early to mid 40s for PPMS. But it can start at any age for either type. MS is a screwy disease. It is difficult to say anything for certain about it.
I wish you and your husband well.

Re: PPMS vs RRMS
If you are diagnosed after 40, you likely do not have PPMS. A friend of mine died at 30 with that. If you have RRMS it may eventually become SP. If you take biotin you may avoid that, or at least make it less severe. Don't ask me. I don't know.
Not a doctor.
Re: PPMS vs RRMS
Your accomplishments are impressive. You're doing better than I am. May I ask what your EDSS score is?
And why did they take your driver's license? Does Ontario automatically do that if you have SPMS? Or was there a specific condition that caused them to revoke it?
Thanks
Dave
