Hi Buster! Welcome to NT!

All our paths are different on this crazy road called MS, but sometimes we have similar things going on. I haven't had an attack in about 3 years, but I do have a lot of up and down symptoms. I've gotten semi-good at knowing what makes some of them worse. Some just seem to reappear for no apparent reason (I call that my "MS grab bag". I'm RRMS, but only one symptom almost fully remitted.)

Consider doing a symptom journal. I know some stuff is weather related - extremely cold, hot, or humid conditions causes some stuff for me to go wonky. Pushing too hard, too much stress, and fevers do a number on other symptoms. Generally a flare is a new symptom or a worsening of symptoms that lasts 24 hours. Since I'm a very stubborn person and have a tendancy to push too hard sometimes, if an old symptom worsens - I wait two days to see if it improves.

Take care of yourself!
