Signs of an MS relapse can vary in type and intensity. Here are some of the more common relapse symptoms:
When you experience a multiple sclerosis relapse , it's because new damage in the brain or spinal cord disrupts nerve signals. That's why you might notice new symptoms or the return of old symptoms. A true relapse lasts more than 24 hours and happens at least 30 days after any previous relapses. Relapses vary in length, severity, and symptoms. Over time, symptoms should improve. Many people recover from their relapses without treatment.
A motion sickness drug can take away that 'room-is-spinning' feeling in the short term, but if it lasts more than a day you may need to be treated for an exacerbation."Somebody may start to feel like they're drunk when they walk, or they [may] have trouble coordinating movements in their arm," says John Ratchford, MD, MSc, assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
