Remission in MS: The patient is not doing as bad as when in a relapse. Remission can be complete (no symptoms) or partial (residual symptoms and symptoms that come and go). It would be my guess that for the majority, partial remission is more common than complete.
Myelin protects the nerves, MS destroys Myelin. Think of an electrical cord to a lamp. If there is damage to the electrical cord the lamp may work but intermittenly or not at all...much like MS.
If you wrap electrical tape around the damaged area the lamp works again without a problem. Unfortunately, there is no permanent fix for the damage MS has done to the Myelin.
