Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be related to Multiple sclerosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The sleeping issue does not seem to be directly related to multiple sclerosis and may be a part of some sleep disorder.
Such relapses are not a manifestation of MS.
You need to consult a neurologist or pulmonologist for evaluation and polysomnography testing.
If you have no other co-morbidities then you can take some sleep inducing drugs.
At present what are your medications and how MS is being managed.
When was MS diagnosed and What was the supportive evidence at that time.
In MS patients regular follow up is necessary.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back with further queries.
