According to the medical literature spontaneous remissions occur in about 10% of the patients and can last for quite a few years. Another 30-40% (or even more) will have remission with treatment. So, that is quite a lot of people.
That sounds like a lot of people….

She's the only person I know who has had a TRUE remission, although I am sure there are a few other lucky ones. It's nice to know it's possible, but the likelihood of it actually happening is pretty remote.
That would sound like only a few….

I agree. This discrepancy between what is written in the medical literature and what we hear from patients is quite bothersome.
I wonder if it is because what is seen as remission by neurologists is merely adjustment, or because those in remission don't come here to tell us about it, or possibly it is a combination of both.
I have no idea how to actually check this.
