The trouble with this disease is that it attacks at so many different levels. Making it difficult to track ones progress with any real certainty.
I was diagnosed almost twenty years ago at the age of 30 with a relapsing/remitting form of MS.
In that time, the MS has gone from one extreme to the other,a number of times.
I've had relapses that left my legs feeling like rubber stilts,only to be walking without the aid of a cane 6 or 7 months later.Without taking any medication.
Since being on medication,(Avonex)I've had relapses that seem to have left permanent symptoms,yet, I'm having fewer relapses now.
So who can say what works & what doesn't.

Hell,I read about a woman that was cured after being struck by lightning!
If they could prove to me that was a surefire cure,I'd be the first one in a thunderstorm with a metal pole in my hand while sitting on a beehive!
I hear them mercury fillings make good conductors Art!

I would like nothing more than to have someone discover a cure for MS,& I'm certain that someday they will.
But in the meantime I think it's important to keep one's hopes at a realistic level.
