multiple sclerosis symptoms?

I've heard that pregnancy can actually stop the symptoms. I don't know if this is true, but I'd love to know

http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/mssymptoms.html details all the symptoms and http://www.msif.org/en/ms_the_disease/ms_and_parenting.html talks about MS before, during and after pregnancy

The long-term consequences of the decision to have children should be considered as well. Factors such as current and future level of disability, the ability of partners to contribute to the care and development of children, support potential from family and friends, and financial security should be appraised.

In pregnancy there does not appear to be an increased risk of relapse, nor is there any effect on the course of the pregnancy, labour or delivery. There appears to be a reduced relapse rate during pregnancy followed by an increased rate in the first six months following the birth of the baby. There is no evidence that MS impairs fertility or that it leads to an increased risk of miscarriages, birth defects, still births, labour and delivery complications.

Although there are no specific medications used by all persons with MS, various medications are used to treat exacerbations and MS symptoms. Some of these (or combinations thereof) may be harmful to a developing foetus. In addition, some people follow special diets and/or various other treatments (medically supervised or unsupervised) reported to be beneficial in MS. Prospective parents should always discuss all treatments and medications with their physician prior to conception to assess whether any of these might be potentially harmful to a developing foetus.

Pregnancy appears to have no effect on long-term disability nor on the long-term course of the disease. Breast feeding does not appear to be related to the increased relapse rate after delivery, but is associated with considerable fatigue, which might influence the decision to utilise formula feeding and childcare assistance.

The decision to have a child should not be made without considering all possible implications. MS may affect family functioning and the well being of children must be a prime consideration in the accommodations made. It is very important to remember that child-rearing is a long-term commitment, and couples must think about the impact of MS over the 18 years or so during which they will actively be involved in raising a child and not concentrate just on pregnancy and the newborn period. You must understand MS and appreciate that a support system might be more necessary in the long-range outlook than in another family without MS. The decision to become a parent should be based primarily on the desire to have a family and while MS should dictate some extra deliberations, it should not be in itself a restriction.

It only stops them while you are pregnant.
