Calling Your Health Care Provider

Call your health care provider if symptoms indicate that multiple sclerosis may be present. This is a chronic condition, but symptoms may mimic or mask (disguise) symptoms of acute, serious conditions such as stroke.

Call your health care provider if symptoms progressively worsen despite treatment.

Call your health care provider if the condition deteriorates to the point where home care is no longer possible.
