MS is not curable. The goal with treatment is to keep the symptoms under control so that the diagnosed person can maintain a new normal way of life.

Not as far as I know. But a vegetarian diet will help anyone. After a year she should feel better but they give so many medications that aren’t always good for our livers which are our filters.

MS is a neuromuscular degenerative disorder but it may be manageable with physical therapy and exercise on his own.

No, it is not at this time. There are very effective medications to keep the disease from progressing. Recommend that he see a neurologist that is specifically trained in MS, Many general neurologists are either not familiar with or not comfortable prescribing the more potent medications.
