Members explored why religious people still use medicine and insurance, with many agreeing that faith and practical action work together rather than against each other. Several members shared that prayer helps them stay calm and cope emotionally, while medicine, insurance, and self-advocacy are necessary tools for managing MS and daily life. A recurring theme was that believing in God does not make anyone immune to hardship, and using every available resource is simply wise stewardship of the life you have been given.

@A MyMSTeam Member. Never use cure and MS in same sentence.
Answering the question... every faith is different as are people, as is the disease. Those who choose to take medicine to relieve symptoms of MS are entitled to do so. That’s just the way it is. Do or don’t do what is right for you.

Love your family story. We all come from such strong people with what they had to live through. Kids today don't have a clue and won't walk around the corner for a meal if they had to. 😟

MSF 26 Multiple Sclerosis Life Expectancy
I hope this helps.
Not fatal, but no cure
When it comes to the prognosis for multiple sclerosis (MS), there’s both good news and bad news. Although no known cure exists for MS, there is some good news about life expectancy. Because MS isn’t a fatal disease, people who have MS essentially have the same life expectancy as the general population.
