Members shared widely varying relapse timelines, ranging from just one month to an impressive 20 years, with many crediting effective medications like Tysabri and Kesimpta for longer periods of stability. The overwhelming consensus identified stress and heat as the most common relapse triggers, with several members describing how emotional trauma, work overwhelm, lack of sleep, anxiety, and immune system drops can all spark symptom flare-ups. A recurring theme was the unpredictable nature of relapses and the importance of recognizing personal triggers, managing stress, staying cool, and finding the right treatment to extend remission periods.

My last relapse was in 2006. With old age, (now 60) I have some mobility issues.
