2. Bad news: it's incurable. Good news: it's treatable

It's one of those diseases that waxes and wanes, so be really careful of quackery. Quacks love MS and all the autoimmune diseases, they keep them in mink.

There are new treatments all the time so there's a lot of hope out there. Treatments out there now increase the time between flareups and that increases the time between diagnosis and disability.

I've worked with RNs with MS. They were able to keep up with the rest of us between flareups.

In other words, don't go shopping for that wheel chair just yet. You might not ever need it.
