Everyone is different, Sherri3566! MS is a very individualized disease. My numbers may be off here - The exacerbation lasts a few days then the symptoms linger as the body heals the myelin sheath of the nerve/s affected. The first bad one was a year for everything to heal and I was left without any residual symptoms. I had relapses about every 10 years after that and they have gotten closer together since 2000. I have had MS since 1975.

I have the same symptoms as you. I was diagnosed three years ago and, nothing has gotten any better, but also hasn't got much worse. One specialist said that he thought I had it for at least 30 years, so it has been a slow process. Now that I think of it though, the reason he thought that was because I had a lazy eye after the birth of my daughter. That did get better. But I have never felt like I had an attack. Anyway, I will be interested in hearing the answers you get to this question.

so happy to see you are still walkng! What meds are you taking?

My first attack in 1954. I'm still walking.
