Actually, this is one reason why the phrase "RR" MS is so mis-leading. You can have active damage going on in your brain and not have a relapse, or even a psuedo exacerbation. You may very well be in remission and have damage going on. This is why the specialist stressed me going on meds now. Cause even though I had my onset attack, and 1 relapse since (8 years in between) there is more damage shown on my MRI than attributed to my onset and relapse. It may not be causing the inflamation that gives us a relapse, but damage is still occuring.

There are people with silent MS. They have it but it is never found until autopsy. They are basically in "remission" their entire life, but the disease is wrecking havoc on their brain.
