I think I'm just annoyed at the fickleness of the MS...it make me think that it's backing off on me, and as soon as I expect it to leave me alone for a bit, it comes flying back in to torture me some more. It's just annoying as Heck.

Yes, it is. Just when you get used to dealing with one thing, it changes...
Infections, stress, irregular body temps, all those can cause psuedo-flares. Temporary worsening of symptoms that resolve after recovering from whatever triggered it basically.
I think that if the trigger is not removed, it will cause a full flare, or a full flare will develop if you do not allow yourself to recover from whatever triggered it...this is my own thought and not from any literature or doctor.
