It does help with pain as well.
I have recently had a reversal of long-standing numbness in my feet and connect that to taking Olive Leaf Extract. At first, it sounded silly to me but some of the information on this supplement is amazing. I would guess your response would depend on the level of your disease activity and progression.
Olive Leaf Extract has improved MS-like symptoms (EAE) in mice according to an article entitled: "Dry olive leaf extract ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis" I was unable to post the link since I haven't been on the forums long enough.
Another great article describing the many benefits of OLE is on Wikipedia.

I had written a post to you but not sure if it will go through or not because the system timed out on me before it posted. I just wanted to thank you for the Olive Leaf Extract suggestion because I had never heard of that before. I am going to give it a try. Thanks.
