Simplifying Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis
Diplomat combines clinical expertise with personalized care.All types of MS involve the body’s immune system attacking nerves in the brain. The immune system targets the fatty covering of the nerves, making it harder for the nerves to work.
With relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), patients have attacks and experience new symptoms, or existing symptoms get worse. These attacks are called relapses. Between attacks, your symptoms might or might not continue, but they don’t get worse, and no new symptoms occur. These periods are called remissions.
RRMS is the most common form of MS. About 85% of people who are diagnosed with MS have RRMS, although they might later have other forms of MS.
People who have RRMS are usually diagnosed in their 20s and 30s. Unlike some other forms of MS, RRMS affects women 2–3 times as often as men.

What are the symptoms of RRMS?
If you have RRMS, you might have problems with your vision, such as double vision and red-green color distortion.
In addition, you might have problems with cognition (learning and memory), and you might experience fatigue. You might also have bowel and bladder issues.
MS in general causes mobility issues — muscle weakness, coordination problems, and issues with walking or standing.
