Relapse or symptom

New to MS so have alot to learn, how do I know what's a symptom or a start of a relapse? Not sure if this makes sense to you guys?

With RMS generally but not always if you have a new fully blown symptom that lasts for more than 48 hours and then eases off over a period of a few months to a residual level, then assuming it's ms-related, it is a relapse (new activity). If you have a flair up of old symptoms or your existing symptoms suddenly get worse then this isn't normally a relapse and is down to stress, virus, infection etc.

@RC83 ah thankyou so if I get previous systoms it's just flair-ups and nothing to be worried about
