No. Why do you ask?

Do you still have it?
The most obvious answer would be “yes”, but since there’s a cure, I just thought I’d ask. You might have gotten through it and it could still be on some medical file, which is following you around.

Good luck in whichever way it turns out for you.
No, they will not. In fact they discharge all service people who get diagnosed with multiple sclerosis even when no serious symptoms are present. They are fully aware that while someone can appear healthy who has multiple sclerosis, at any time the disease may flare up and render that person totally incapable of carrying out their assigned duties. In addition to that that do not want to make an investment of time or money putting someone through boot camp unless that person is in excellent health with no known potential for disability, be it temporary or long term.
You can speak with any recruiter for any branch of the service and that is what they will tell you. I greatly admire your willingness to serve your country and am sorry that your will not be able to.
No, unfortunately they will not. MS is disqualilifying for the military as, even if you appear fine right now, at any given moment you can have a flare-up which could disable you in some way from performing your duties. They usually do not want to take that risk.
