2. Periods of Remission: The Silver Lining
Remission in RRMS is as unpredictable as its relapses. However, these periods are eagerly anticipated by those with the condition, serving as a beacon of hope. These intervals, where symptoms recede, provide much-needed respite.
For many, the term ‘remission’ conjures up images of a complete disappearance of symptoms. In the world of RRMS, this can indeed be the case.
Some patients experience periods where their symptoms vanish, allowing them to function as they did before their diagnosis. For others, remission might mean a mere reduction in the severity of symptoms.
These varied experiences with remission underscore the diverse ways in which RRMS can manifest in different individuals. While some might enjoy extended periods of relief, others might find their remissions short-lived. This inconsistency makes it crucial to continuously monitor the condition and adjust treatment plans accordingly.(2)
