I am sorry you have MS. My cousin has it too. I think she was in her 30's. Now 62, she has enjoyed a really good life. Remissions happen kerOpi. In my opinion no doctor should take away a persons hope. He doesn't know your future. There will be people on Neuro Talk to help you. The MS forum is very large. Folks will respond to you, and lots of therapies are talked about. My cousin had times in her life where medicine was needed, but she also had times where no medication was needed. I hope you find another doctor, that would treat the "whole" person. ginnie
