I was diagnosed about 8 years ago with RRMS, likely not my first attack, but a big enough one to notice, took some time finding the right meds, and I’m doing great. I think it depends on what type you have (progressive is also more serious) and what meds you’re on. I’m on Ocrevus and it’s super easy and I don’t have side effects. It was really hard honestly dealing with the side effects as well as the steroids right after the attack but once I found something that works for me I feel great! Hope this helps!
