MS: Take a deep breath! There are many new treatments out there that prevent debilitation! Also, the disease has varying degrees. I am confident they will be able to treat you and you will not be disabled. As for a cure, I hope so, but for now the treatments are much better than they used to be!

Let's start with: hope. MS is a disease with a wide variation in severity. For now, let's hope that yours is the most mild case ever. That being said, when MS is severe, it can progress over time. The good news is that there are many new treatments currently being tested, some of which can halt or even reverse the progression. Your neurologist will know which of these treatments are best for you. Good luck!
