    What is relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS)?   

    Relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) is a form of multiple sclerosis (MS) that causes episodes of new or worsening symptoms, called relapses, followed by recovery periods, called remissions. MS is a chronic condition where the immune system attacks the protective coating around nerves, called myelin, in the brain and spinal cord. This damage disrupts communication between the brain and body. RMS is the most common form of MS. The difference between RMS and MS lies in the disease pattern. RMS includes clear relapses with recovery periods, while other forms of MS, such as primary progressive MS, involve a steady worsening of symptoms without distinct relapses. 

    What are the symptoms of relapsing multiple sclerosis?  

    The type and intensity of RMS symptoms vary from person to person. Common symptoms include: 

    • Fatigue: Feeling extremely tired even after resting. 
    • Numbness or tingling: Often in the face, arms, or legs. 
    • Vision problems: Blurred, double vision, or loss of vision in one eye. 
    • Muscle weakness or spasms: Difficulty moving certain parts of the body or muscle stiffness. 
    • Balance and coordination issues: Trouble walking or maintaining stability. 
    • Cognitive changes: Problems with memory, concentration, or processing information. 
    • Pain: Sharp or chronic pain in certain areas of the body. 

    Symptoms during a relapse can last days to weeks and often improve or disappear during remission. 

    What type of doctors treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS)?   

    People with RMS are typically treated by neurologists, who specialize in the nervous system. Neurologists are experienced in diagnosing and managing MS and can prescribe treatments to reduce relapses and slow disease progression. Rheumatologists, who treat autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, do not generally treat MS because MS affects the central nervous system rather than joints or connective tissues. 

    Patients with RMS may also work with a care team, including: 

    • Physical therapists to improve mobility and strength. 
    • Occupational therapists to help with daily activities. 
    • Psychologists or counselors to support mental health. 

    How is relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) treated? 

    RMS is treated using a combination of therapies aimed at reducing relapses, managing symptoms, and slowing disease progression. Common treatments include: 

    • Disease-modifying therapies: Medications such as interferons, glatiramer acetate, and monoclonal antibodies (e.g., ocrelizumab or natalizumab) reduce relapses and slow the progression of MS. 
    • Steroids: High-dose corticosteroids, like methylprednisolone, help reduce inflammation during relapses. 
    • Symptom management: Medications for fatigue, muscle spasms, and other symptoms improve quality of life. 
    • Rehabilitation therapies: Physical and occupational therapy support mobility and daily functioning. 
    • Lifestyle changes: Healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep can help manage symptoms. 

    How long does relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) last? 

    RMS is a lifelong condition, but the duration of individual relapses can vary. Most relapses last between a few days to a few weeks, with some lingering up to three months. Recovery times differ for everyone, and while remission periods can last for months or years, relapses may still occur unpredictably. Early treatment with disease-modifying therapies can help reduce the frequency and severity of relapses. 

    What is the life expectancy for someone with relapsing multiple sclerosis? 

    Life expectancy for people with RMS is typically near normal, especially with early diagnosis and proper treatment. Advances in medications and symptom management have greatly improved outcomes. On average, MS may shorten life expectancy by about 5-10 years, mainly due to complications like severe infections or difficulty with mobility. Most individuals with RMS can live long, fulfilling lives with the right care and support.   

    When should I see a Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor near fairhaven, MA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor near fairhaven, MA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctors near fairhaven, MA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctors near fairhaven, MA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor near fairhaven, MA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor near fairhaven, MA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctors near fairhaven, MA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
