Your mom and I have a few sx's in common. I also never go into any kind of remission. When I fall, I try to figure out what I can do next time to prevent it. But without my rollator (a walker with wheels and a built-in brake), I can fall sideways because my legs are getting stiffer.
I have tried just about every drug out there - LDN, Aminopyridine, chiropractor, acupuncture, accupressure - but none of them seem to affect my slow deterioration. But my descent is slow.
I use a rollator and when it comes to making it to the bathroom, I have learned to be calm and just hope that my pad holds it until I can get to the loo and change it.
I take Baclofen for stiffness. I wish DH would stretch my legs but I am too shy to really ask him to do it every day/night. He does not understand what to do and that is also a problem with asking him.
I would love a prescription for a weekly massage. It sounds like a luxury but for me, it would be a prescription. I have a good place to go, the therapist is a body builder, he knows muscle anatomy. You may look into that considering you are in the UK and your medical is different. My insurance does not cover that.
