Erin, if you have seen improvements and symptoms have decreased in intensity and they are now coming and going and/or some symptoms are gone - that's remission.

Some have complete remissions (no symptoms in between relapses) but having residual symptoms is common.

This is from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society:

Going into remission doesn’t necessarily mean that the symptoms disappear totally—some people will return to feeling exactly as they did before the exacerbation began while others may find themselves left with some ongoing symptoms.
