Relaspe or Pseudoexacerbation?

[Jesmcd2]

Symptoms of an MS relapse?

MS is known for causing a wide variety of symptoms, but those listed below are some of the more common symptoms that may arise (or worsen) during a relapse.

Changes in vision

Numbness

Issues with muscle functioning or spasms

Tremor

Difficulties in walking or balance

Extreme fatigue or weakness

Difficulty speaking

Problems with memory or attention

Reduced sensation, or increased, painful sensation

Or?

Pseudoexacerbation?

Not caused by new damage

Brought on by other influences

Urinary tract infection is most common cause

Usually subsides within 24 hours

When to call your Health Care Team? Definitely,if it's NOT BETTER WITHIN 48hrs. Let them know, let them decide! Or sooner if you feel it's necessary!

At this time of stress, flare ups happen. They happen to me. They happen to you. I feel it's good to have a reminder that we aren't going nuts!

thanks that is a good starting point

Whenever I have something happening I immediately contact my neuro and ask her what my next steps should be.

I learned my lesson from the wait and see method or let me look it up

Thanks for sharing. Over summer when i was first diagnosed i questioned every little thing and my ms specialist told me if it doesnt last more than 24 hours it wasnt a relapse and that brought me some relief
