Default serial flare ups

Hi
just wondered if anyone else has experienced similar to this, i have RRMS and was dx in 2004. At that time i had mutiple lesions and was told that i had probably had ms for about a decade or so. I had had several illness that had been put down to MS in hindsight. I have been treated with betaferon since dx. I have had seeral flares but usually they are iolated events with a few symptoms that appear and then recede ( not completely) back to a more normal state - fatigue and vestibulary symptoms ( balance and co ordination etc are the most persistent0 with fatigue being a major issue. In october late last year i had a flare up that involved severe fatigue, vertigo, sensory issues in my left arm and leg, speech prbs - the fatigue was the worst though and i was in hospital as i could not manage at home- iwas given methylpred and did improve for a while but within a month i had another relapse, then even before i got out from hospital i had another - over all i have been hospital for much of the past 3 months, the MRI shows some progression, i have has a furhter 3 rounds of steroids and finally got home from hospital yesterday. Has anyone one else eperienced this kind of series of flares in rapid sucession? it has been so debilitating, i have lost my job etc and can barely finction well enough to manage at thome ( i should add i i m wheelchair dependdant from other causes too) they have scanned to check for other causes of the flares including doinge tests for viruses etc- i am scared this may be the the start of more progressive disease- any thoughts
