The longest flare I've had was three months. I've had one sx fully remit, two stay, and the rest hang out in my "MS grab bag" and appear on and off just to make life interesting.
They still say RRMS for me. They are keeping an eye on me 'cuz I have some atypical stuff going on, but the specialist feels that he's comfortable with that designation right now.
I agree with educating yourself before doing any treatment. It took me months to choose between the CRABs and the final choice came down to some past issues I've had.
I'd also have your doc look into some of the anti-spasmatic meds out there instead of having IVSM so often.
Hope things get better soon.
