Question about relapses

Hello everyone, I'm new here and happy to join you all. I have had relapsing-remitting MS for many years now and I'm currently having a particularly difficult relapse atm which means I can't really walk and it's been my longest at nearly 4 months. I'm just wondering how long it may last? What are other people's experience for length of a relapse? Has anyone thought it was getting better only for it to suddenly worsen? I guess I'm worried this might never get better...

Hello, well iv had symptoms for 10 years diagnosed april 2015 had relapse end of year.weird thing for me though i think iv had relapses and not even know.i just would feel way worse and just got on with it. It took me months to get over first relapse and it can leave you with pemanent damage with some people. As of now my ms nurse thinks iv been having relapses to where im housebound mostly now .fatigue amd weakness is wiping me out more last few months.i feel for you as walking us such a given to healthy people .its a struggle for us .but im sure youll have better days...just we never know when!
