I can tell I'm having a relapse when something goes numb. (Like my fingers or legs) For me any time an old symptom is acting up it is just a flare up. If you are concerned about a change don't be worried about calling your doctor. You are not bugging them especially when you're still figuring this all out. That's why they get paid the big bucks. :)

I still do the same thing. My Neuro said if it last longer than 24 hours then it may be a relapse. But remember that stress, heat, and getting sick may cause pseudo symptoms. I don't know if anyone's told you about them but they are real symptoms just don't last long. The only thing steroids do is speed up recovery time, there are a lot of side effects that you could experience from the steroids so if the symptoms aren't that bad you can just call and talk to your Neuro and he/she can help you decide if you need them. Hope that helps!

Thank you,that's my problem it feels like the same thing ,only worse,and I'm also so tired I think I'm gonna talk to her. Thanks again it really does help to know others are going through the same thing:)

It just takes time living with the disease to figure it out. Your Dr gave you the medical definition of a relapse

Thanks :)
