- Relapsing-remitting MS
- The most common form of multiple sclerosis in which people will suffer a series of unpredictable attacks. With each subsequent attack, new symptoms may appear or existing symptoms become more severe. These attacks may occur for days or months. However, between attacks, there is stability and a type of remission when no problems or loss of function occurs. The attacks occur when the myelin sheath is inflamed, squeezing the nerve fibers so that messages can't pass clearly from the brain to other parts of the body. The frequency and severity of relapses vary. In a few cases, people with relapsing/remitting MS may go on to develop secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.
