MS is one of those diseases that is hard
to define. It is so different for each
individual.
I first became concerned because of
memory, then it became balance.
The most common form of MS is
relapsing/remitting. In other words, we
will have what is called exacerbations,
where something wilkl flare up, but then
will go away-sometime in hours, sometimes
it takes weeks.
I do know it becomes much worse in the
heat. Most people who have had it for any
length of time know when to take it easy.
When to sit instead of stand ect.
There is a different kind of MS called
progressive. I don't know much about this
type.
