My neuro says my MS is running a benign course,...

I haven't really had a flare up for 15 years (I'm now 45). I would love to know if anyone else has been in this position and did it remain benign ? I realise I am very lucky, but wish I knew a bit more about the future.

Benign ms

Hello. I wanted to find out if anyone has had no relapses for years and then had a significant one. I was diagnosed in September 2019 with optic issues and a numb chin on one side but since then nothing. I am on Aubagio and have been well since. I feel like I am in some ways “free” of MS . If I have...
