Good Luck Lu...
Your posting darkened my day Lu.. but I send unconditional love and best wishes. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in Feb' 1997 and spent a year unable to walk or see.... couldn't even visit the bathroom unaccompanied.
In 2000 my mobility and eyesight returned enough to recover my commercial priveleges (fixed-wing but not rotary - with as or with co-pilot restriction) and even returned to flying a KingAir 200 for a year.... after remarkable support and encouragement from CAA Aeromedical Dept.
The flying's all finished now though but I can still open my own beers and tie my shoe laces too.... can even hit a squash ball a couple of days a month.
Just believe buddy... be defiant.... things often work out differently to what the medics would have you believe.... sorry there's no icon here to show a big hug. bm
