Relapses in MS

6 December 2021

For many people with multiple sclerosis, relapses are a big part of the condition. In this episode we discuss what relapses are, how to recognise if you're having a relapse and how to deal with them. We hear from MS Nurse Miranda Olding about what causes a relapse and how they are treated, and then we chat with Simon from our MS Trust Enquiry Line about some of the most common questions we get around relapses.
