That's not really helpful.

Realistically, many forms of MS have symptoms that happen (suddenly), then heal up quite a bit, generally leaving differing amounts of nerve damage. In other words, if you do nothing, it will get better. Until it stops doing that, and if you aren't on medicine, your outlook isn't so wonderful. Unless you are lucky, that is.

I'm fairly lucky. I have few day to day symptoms. I was half blind once, though, and I've had fingers so numb that I had to inspect my hands after washing them to see if I did it correctly. Currently, if I bend my head down, I get an electric shock in my legs. It isn't really bothersome though.

If I go on a diet, I might not know anything changes. Well, until next year when I get my next MRI. I expect it to have no changes even if I don't diet, though, because modern medications are pretty wonderful.
