Something feels off today

Questions when you think you might be in a flare

If this is a real flare, am I going to lose function permanently — or does it usually come back?
Could this be a pseudo-exacerbation from heat, infection, or stress — not a real flare?
Could a UTI or other infection be triggering this?
How should I document this for you — start time, photos, video, a written log? What helps you most?
Should I come in for an exam?
Should I go to the ER?
Is there anything I should stop doing right now — heat, exercise, hot showers, sauna — that could be making this worse?
Would steroids help, or is it better to ride this out?
If we go with steroids, oral or IV — what's the difference for me?
Should we do a new MRI to see if there's a new lesion?
Does this mean my current DMT isn't working? Are we going to change anything?
