What Is Multiple Sclerosis?
7. Relapses
The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are likely to come in cycles of remission, and relapses. After experiencing the symptoms for some time, the symptoms can then relapse completely, or at least partially. This can leave the patient not experiencing any symptoms whatsoever for months, or even years.
An increased body temperature can also cause the patient’s symptoms to reappear or worsen, although these are not generally considered to be relapses. In some people, the symptoms will get gradually worse to the point where they can have a severe impact on the patient’s life. The rate the disease progresses can vary considerably from person to person.
