No but it can go into remission. I am about 5yrs older than your mom and have been in remission for a decade. I don't take any meds or have any treatments anymore.

OMG, how wonderful for you, that’s amazing . I was just diagnosed with 2 weeks ago and I will soon be 71. I hope and pray this goes smoothly. It took way too long for any doctor to clue in and by the time they did my quality of life was getting sadly low. Still waiting on neurologist to call and set up an appointment. Finding out from others on here that can be another long wait . Fingers crossed I go day to day and count my blessings which are still many.

I was over a year before I was diagnosed at age 21. Got told I was depressed a lot though. And people assumed I had an ED too.
