Here is a link to the FMCSA "Expert Opinion" on certifying people with MS or Parkinson's Disease as commercial drivers:
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/medical/opinions-expert-panel-parkinson%E2%80%99s-disease-multiple-sclerosis-and-commercial
While it says that MS patients shouldn't be given unconditional certification, it suggests steps that could be taken to ensure safe drivers by getting appropriate specialty evaluation and testing.
Maybe if you reviewed this with your doctor, you could find a way to qualify.
Good luck!
