Question about relapses

I was just wondering if a relapse can start suddenly, instead of gradually. I recently heard a doctor say that MS symptoms ALWAYS show up gradually, like you wake up and your hand is tingling, then the next day it's worse, and so on. I just wanted to ask people that have first-hand experience. Th...

Just a thought on relapses!

Reading through my letters from the hospital again I read a letter from the neuro who specialises in DMTs who I was referred to to discuss treatment. He gave me the treatment he felt was best for me, which at first I was upset about but then after reading up about it I came round to the idea and tho...

Relapses.

Has or does anyone have relapses that don't leave behind damage afterwards that you are actually aware of?

Do ur MS Relapses hit @ same time of yr

Guys, Firstly I consider myself very lucky that my MS follows very much the Relapse/Remission pattern. I was wondering if those of you in a similar situation have noted any pattern in the time of year your relapse trends to hit? For the last 6 years or so..... although I get the odd niggle througho...

2nd line treatment with only 2 relapses

Lovely people, thanks for listening! My story started a year ago with only 2 minor relapses, like numbness in my hands and legs and later on I lost my left eye-sight for a while. This was followed with a 1st line treatment (Copaxone) for the last year or so, and I fully recovered from those relaps...

Hi How long was it between your first and second relapse? I know that everyone is different and everyone has a different case but I am curious to hear what others have experienced.

Diagnosis with no relapses

I was diagnosed a few months and was very fortunate to be offered Lemtrada. I had my first attack two years ago which came out of the blue. The right side of my body was affected, I couldn't move my arm, that side of my face, my leg was a bit wonky and my speech was very slurred and I also had a s...

Hi, I am 26 years old and was diagnosed with RRMS just before heading off on my honeymoon around Christmas 2015. I had been experiencing numbness and tingling in my limbs since 2014, I wasn't going to go to the docs about it but my partner made me. Then after a series of tests (took almost a year al...

Relapses

What do those of you with relapsing remitting define as a relapse? Since my diagnosis in Sept 2018 after developing optic neuritis I have been plagued with different symptoms on pretty much a fortnightly basis and i'm becoming so disheartened and unwilling to allow myself to be in certain situations...

Close time frame in relapses.

Hi there, I am new to this site and would love some reassurance or perspective as I feel I am going mad. I was diagnosed nearly 8 years ago after my first son was born. I stayed off treatment as we were wanting to have more children and had a few different opinions from various neuros. Fast track t...

MethylPred, relapses and black moods...

Hi all. Ok, so I have a couple of questions and will also (prob) have a bit of a vent (because I am cranky as hell and disappointed to be back on steroids). So I am 27, have RRMS since Nov '11 (officially, though I am in denial still a bit - although that is challenged daily...) and have had now 4 ...

confused about "relapses"

Hi all-- I have a question. Over the past week or so, I've experienced this new symptom when I bend my head forward. Not quite L'Hermittes, which I've had before, but a similar thing where the movement triggers a tightness in my ribs, sort of how I imagine the MS hug but a bit milder I believe. Now...

How well do you recover from relapses?

Hi. I was diagnosed with ms January last year. I quickly had 5 relapses in 4 months and was put on Lemtrada June last year. All went well with treatment and luckily so far it has kept relapses at bay. However, the damage left from my relapses has stayed and quite considerably too. I use a wheelchai...
