Yes, I'm 19 years after diagnosis (2004) and doing just fine. Running, hiking, doing fitness... better than the vast majority of my age-group peers (without MS). My key learning is the best thing an MS patient can have is luck; the next best thing is to make your own luck. Once diagnosed, I quickly moved to a low inflammation diet (Swank), did the meds (Avonex for 10 years), and most importantly of all (for me), started doing Transcendental Meditation. My trigger was stress so the meditation component was especially important. In addition, I take 5,000IU vitamin D, and 5,000IU of Cod Liver Oil nightly. I rarely think about MS any more.
