(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.
Over the past few years physicians have come to realize that pain is not only possible as a symptom of MS, but that in some patients, pain is a key symptom. It can be a major cause of reduced function, decreased sense of well-being, and an important target for treatment.
