Relapsing Remitting Ms, signs and symptoms

Relapsing Remmiting MS

Clear relapse and remission periods are the most characteristic for this type of Multiple Sclerosis that is known as Relapsing-remitting MS . This means that a patien with ms disease experiences attacks (also called flare-ups, relapses or exacerbations) for a shorter period of time, after which the health stabilizes and a person feels good again. At this stage of the disease it might not look like the condition is overall progressing or worsening.
The relapse-remission cycle may repeat many times, usually about twice a year. Approximately 85% of ms patients are initially diagnosed with this Multiple Sclerosis type.
