I dont know why the docs arent being clear as to inform ms patients what is considered an exerbation or relaspse. If its not intense, and you need hospitalization, its not a relaspse, just ms being ugly. Thete are so so many querky things, i cant even begin to name them all, because it can be something very minimal, to something hugh and painful and it wont be a relaspe.
