Can You Cure MS With Steriods?

Hi, I'm writing about a friend.  He was diagnosed a few months ago, but is on large doses of steroids and believes this may reverse the damage and cure him altogether.  I wouldn't contradict him (not my place) but is this a real possibility?

Thank you for answering. That's what I was afraid of.

Thanks, Amie, for your answer. I guess that's the general consensus. My friend is actually my brother-in-law, and he told us that he thinks it can be reversed. I don't know if he's just putting on a good face or he's trying to believe it, but I'm keeping my mouth shut. If that's how he gets through the day, who am I to contradict him? I'm also not saying anything to my husband. I don't think he could handle it since he loves his brother so much, and also he doesn't deal real well with bad physical news....he'd rather be in the dark. I'm the opposite - I want to know what I'm dealing with.

betterhealth, no I haven't, because I've never had a bad attack, just the hearing loss and the general motion-sick stuff. But a friend of mine sometimes can't get off the couch for a couple of days - if she does, everything spins. She said she avoids too much salt. Is that what happens to your wife? That would be really tough.
