Many people with multiple sclerosis may go for long periods without experiencing symptoms. However, even when MS appears to be inactive, research has shown that damage may continue to develop in the CNS.
An approved multiple sclerosis therapy is your best chance to manage MS
A study of nerve damage and when it occurs concluded that if MS is left untreated, even early in the disease, there is good evidence of permanent damage.1 Research also showed just how important reducing multiple sclerosis relapses is throughout the course of MS. In fact, an analysis of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) database showed that approximately 45% of people not on therapy who had a relapse did not recover some of the physical abilities they had before their multiple sclerosis relapse.2
The importance of multiple sclerosis therapies can’t be underestimated. And fortunately, there are several therapies available to treat RRMS. The NMSS recommends that people with multiple sclerosis consider starting treatment with one of the approved MS therapies as soon as possible following a definite diagnosis.3 Consider starting—and staying—on an approved therapy to manage your MS. Committing to MS therapy for the long term can help you live the fullest life possible with MS.
