its all so confusing during the first year, and all of the ups and downs.

My clinic says a relapse is

any new or recurring symptom that lasts at least 24 hours
(this can be anything from a numb leg to constipation)

They expect me to report the symptom with the first 7 days that it appears, and they have up to 2 weeks to start steroid treatment to help me recover from it faster.

They call it the 24/7/14 rule. crazy name

They said with or without treatment with steroids most patients recover with or without steroid treatments, but the treatment will help you recover faster, and less damage should be caused from the relapse.

Hugs and prayers for you I am glad you are feeling better.
