See below: All cases of ms are different and unique, but in general, if new physical problems emerge, this could signal a relapse or progression. Best to prevent with potent medication, not wait to treat later. Suggest, consider tysabri, (natalizumab) gilenya, or tecfidera, and supplement vitamin d-3 daily. Make sure her neurologist is an experienced ms specialist.

Not until an attack: There isn't anything that reliably sends a signal that an attack is coming. That would make the treatment job a lot easier!

Not really: Most relapses or attacks of MS occur without warning. There may be months or years in between relapses. Sometimes relapses stop forever too. She is welcome to ask other questions if needed. Take care!
