Welcome to NeuroTalk:

Here is an article from 2010.... stating that most of the patients remit and recover over time. Avoidance of over stretching may help prevent further attacks.

This is an outline of features:

Perhaps using supplements that aid in remyelination may help.
active B12 called methylcobalamin
active B6 called P5P
active folate
fish oil.

There is new evidence that statins for lowering cholesterol prevent remyelination of axons and so avoidance of this class of drugs may help. These drugs interfere with growth factors of neurons.

While this article is complex, it is significant:

You may find easier to read discussions with a Google search
using keywords : statins remyelination
