(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.
Relapses can come out of the blue, and make life with MS unpredictable. There are steps you can take to manage them and plan for them, to minimise the effect MS has on your life as far as possible. One important step could be to take a disease modifying therapy (DMT). This can make you less likely to have relapses.
