Advice about whether it's a relapse and what to do

Hi. I’m newly diagnosed with RRMS. I had the first symptoms in 2010, made an almost full recovery with only a few mild weird sensations when I had a bug. Last September I had a relapse, saw a neurologist privately in January and was diagnosed from MRI based on the presence of four lesions and my history. I am now waiting to see an NHS MS specialist neurologist in June. On Sunday I started getting new hot feeling patches on my left leg and the area is increasing steadily. Is this a relapse? At what point do I reasonably contact the doctor?

Contact them now! If you are having a relapse, that’s the best time for them to assess you.

The sooner the better as things take ages to arrange.
Don’t panic but don’t be put off.
Good luck

Thanks both. Spoke to the doctor on the phone today and she was going to contact neurologist or ms nurse and get back to me. Unfortunately I missed her call this afternoon.
