VIDEO: MS Relapses: How to Deal with Them [WGN 9 Chicago]
Relapses in multiple sclerosis are not necessarily permanent:
MS is an autoimmune disease with symptoms that may come and go over time. Relapses occur in most people living with MS.

If the relapse symptoms last more than six months, the problem may last indefinitely.
