Hi everyone,

how long can a bout of on last? I have been dx'd 'possible ms' but not experienced on. Can it come on suddenly (e.G. - when you are driving?)

also, I understand that an exacerbation can last either minutes, hours, overnight, days, weeks or months. Is this correct, do you think?

Some answers appreciated, thanks.
