FLARE-UP VS PSEUDO-FLARE: WHAT TO KNOW

June 16, 2015 /

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Symptoms

Sometimes it’s hard
to know if you’re having flare-ups or what experts call pseudo-flares. But
what exactly are pseudo-flares? They’re symptoms that are temporary — and
typically disappear after you eliminate the trigger. What’s more, they don’t
indicate that your MS is progressing. Avoiding triggers such as heat, stress,
and even smoking can really help. Remember, whether you call them flare-ups
or relapses, if you’re having them or pseudo- flares, you may want to talk to
your healthcare provider.
