Answer
HELLO
THIS IS REALLY SAD TO READ SO YOUNG, BUT MY SON HAS MS FROM BIRTH, HE HAS LEARNED TO DO THINGS I CANNOT DO,  HIS LEFT SIDE IS BAD, BUT HE MANAGES IS 42 NOW AND WORKS FOR THE STATE IN THE HIGHWAYS MOWING GRASS NOW OR DRIVES A BIG TRUCK.
WHAT I DO FOR MY SELF BEING SO CRIPPLED IS USE A HEATED MESSAGE PAD ON MY CHAIR THAT IS CALLED MINE. LOL.  I DO HOT TUB SOAKS OF TWENTY MINUTES HOT WAS POSSIBLE.  IF U CAN AFFORD A SPA THAT WOULD BE GREAT!  I DO NOT HAVE ONE, SO I BOUGHT A PORTABLE ONE AT SEARS AND USE AND IT MAKES ME TINGLE AND FEEL GOOD FOR BED.
LIGHT STRETCHING DAILY IS GOOD TO MAINTAIN.
WHEN HE CAN LEARN TO RIDE A BIKE WOULD BE GOOD.  ASK THE DOCTER ABOUT MILK THISSLE, (SPELLING) IT IS GOOD FOR THE LIVER, IF HE CAN TAKE THIS IT WILL HELP THE LIVER.
STEROIDS ARE ALSO HARD ON THE LIVER, HAVE HIM DRINK ALOT OF WATER TO RINSE AWAY THE STUFF IN THE KIDNEYS ALSO.  IF HE DOES NOT LIKE WATER, ASK IF HE CAN DRINK THE CARB SODAS IN BOTTLES THAT ARE TINTED WITH GRAPE FLAVOR, AND OTHERS.  THERE IS ALOT OF WATER IN THEM AT WAL MARTS.
HOT SOAKS FOR LOOSEN UP, LIGHT STRETCHING MAKE UP A ROUTINE OF WHERE HE IS STIFF AND HELP HIM, MAKE A GAME OF IT WITH MUSIC OR SOMETHING TO INTICE HIM.  HE MUST KEEP HIS MUSCLES USED.
ASK ABOUT THERAPY FOR HIM ALSO.  I MEAN PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE TO ASSIST WITH THIS.
KEEP ME POSTED I FEEL VERY BADLY FOR A CHILD THIS ONLY GETS WORSE.  GOD BLESS U ALL.
