The path to finding a treatment option
Treating relapsing MS
Relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) is something that can continue to change over time. And when it comes to treatment, there's a lot to consider. That’s why it’s important to find a treatment that is right for you. Learn about why it’s important to treat your MS and how to keep track of your symptoms.
What is a relapse?
An MS relapse is when you experience new symptoms or a worsening of current symptoms. A relapse can also be called a flare-up or exacerbation.
You may be having a relapse if your symptoms:
- Last for at least 24 hours
- Appear at least 30 days after your last relapse
It’s important to know relapses can be different from others you may have experienced. They can be mild or severe, and may last anywhere from a couple of days to months.
