(Definition of âcipherâ from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press)
In relapsing-remitting MS, you have unpredictable attacks, called exacerbations, where your symptoms suddenly get worse. These attacks take place over several days to weeks. After each attack, it can take weeks to months to recover all (or even just part) of your previous abilities.
Increased activity, hot weather, hot baths and showers, saunas and hot tubs, are all sources of heat that can cause issues for someone living with MS. It is our intolerance to these things that can cause pseudoexacerbationâthe experience of having symptoms appear or worsen due to heat exposure.
