Okay, this may sound dumb - but how do you know if a flare-up has ended?

For those of you who don't know - I'm new to this - dx 3 months ago - been in a flare - have had 2 sets of steroid treatments in that time.

The steroids helped with many of the symptoms. Some went away altogether, some went away only to return a week after each treatment. Some newer symptoms have shown up....some of these have abated, etc.

My question is - how do I know if this episode has ended - or maybe the question is - how do I even know if this even is an episode as opposed to just progression (as in - maybe I don't have RRMS)? Or maybe this was an exacerbation and it ended but I didn't return to "normal" - and these are just lingering or permanent things?

Uggg.
