I am a big believer in combining the meds along with alternative therapies like yoga, supplements,
diet modifications, massage therapy, and was just talked into finally trying accupuncture.
I don't think any doctor can look at your MRIs and say you've had MS x-number of years.... but sitting down and going over your history and what happened when, when certain symptoms started and such, I do believe the doctors can put a general age to the disease.
