Sadly, there is no permanent cure for MS. Those who suffer from the
condition must learn to live with multiple sclerosis. Fortunately, there are
several medications available to help victims cope with pain and numbness. The
key is receiving an early diagnosis and beginning treatment. Treatment will
assist with slowing the progression of the disease, preventing relapses, and
alleviating permanent damage to the central nervous system. Individuals in the
advanced stages of multiple sclerosis may have to undergo physical, mental, or
speech rehabilitation therapy.
