Benign MS
People with relapsing remitting MS who only have a small number of relapses, followed by a complete recovery, may be described as having benign MS.
It is only possible to make a diagnosis of benign MS once a person has experienced little or no disability for a period of 10 to 15 years. However, a diagnosis of benign MS does not mean they will be free of problems; a relapse may occasionally occur after many years in which the MS has been inactive.
