Here’s some information that may help:

What’s a relapse?
A relapse (also called an
attack or exacerbation) is a period of time lasting more than 24 hours when old
symptoms worsen or new ones appear in the absence of a fever and with a change
in your neurological examination. The change in your examination means your
health care provider is able to observe a change in certain areas, such as in
change in your reflexes, coordination, strength or maybe your visual acuity.
If you think you’re
experiencing a relapse, you may want to contact your health care provider.
Some other reasons you might
want to contact your health care provider might include:
·        
Loss of vision or
blurry vision
·        
Abrupt change in bowel
or bladder function
·        
A urinary tract
infection
·        
Feelings of depression
or thoughts of hurting yourself

Any time you are concerned with a symptom or
feeling
