1. Relapsing-remitting MS characterized by periods
of improvement and sta-
bility in between attacks.
Relapse and remission.
This is due to the remyeli-
nation of axons.
2. Primary Progressive MS Disease progression from
onset, without plateaus or
remissions, steady decline
3. Secondary Progressive MS initial relapsing-remitting
MS that suddenly begins
to have decline without
periods of remission
4. auto immune disorder when your immune sys-
tem starts to attack cells
that belong to you
5. Spacticity abnormal increase in
muscle tone or stiffness of
muscle
6. Vertigo in MS dizziness and feeling off
balance are common
symptoms of MS, can be
caused by MS legions on
cerebellum
7. Hyperreflexia Abnormally increased re-
flexes resulting from ner-
vous system damage
