My aunt has had MS for the past 13 years and is on copaxone. She has difficulty walking and reading. She heard about one Frenchman who benefited from Ayurvedic treatment and decided to try it. I took her to a doctor in Chennai and he prescribed a diet that was quite similar to what you suggest. Ayurveda considers all nerve related problems to be because of derangement of the wind humor. And cheese, eggs, legumes and fermented food increase the wind humor according to Ayurveda. For those who are interested - here's the diet/lifestyle recommendation:
Avoid

Coffee, tea, cocoa based drinks, kanji (watery porridge) with pulses.
