Q&A 15 - MS-Selfie

How come my limbs that work are weak but much stronger when I yawn? When the nerve fibres are destroyed, growing new myelin -if possible- won't help anything, correct? Is neuro-regeneration possible?

Questions

Q1: How come my limbs that work are weak but much stronger when I yawn?  

Q2: I have been experiencing progressive disability for about 18 years, and my MRIs show damage to my cervical spine (black holes). A second-opinion neurologist told me that the nerve fibres were destroyed and replaced by scar tissue. When the nerve fibres are destroyed, growing new myelin- if possible- won't help anything, correct? A patient might have new myelin, but the scar tissue (the plaques) are in the way, correct? So, it wouldn't help the limb weakness. 

Q3: Is it possible right now to regenerate degenerated spinal nerves? And especially if you are over 50 years old?
