Life Expectancy with Multiple Sclerosis: What You Need to Know

Multiple sclerosis is not typically a fatal disease but we don’t live as long as people without MS. There is good news though, there are things we can do to increase our longevity! In this video I talk about life expectancy and how it is changing for people with MS.

    Thank you for addressing this tough subject. The day i was first told I probably have MS was a terrible day. I was so terrified of what was to come. I thought it was a terminal disease. My Mum said "you can live a long life with MS". This was in 1998, a long time ago! She was obviously right, as Mums often are! There were no drugs for MS back then. As you say, exercise, staying hydrated, eating well, and so on are all things we can do to help ourselves stay healthier. I only wish that back in the day that I could have seen this video. My anxiety would have reduced straight away! You have such a wonderful channel, which is so informative. Keep up the good work! x 👏

    Thanks for watching Leo! I will think about the topic of preventing disability. It is a challenging one as I am not a doctor and they really don't have a handle on why some people have more accruing disabilities. I will definitely look into the topic though.

    You are a good speaker and have chosen an important topic to address. My neurologist said (I got diagnosed january of this year) that my life expectancy will not be shorter, so that’s really positive. Are you in the Living Well Hub with OMS? I recently joined and feel like it’s such a positive community! I will follow the Pathway program soon and am very curious about it. Thank you for making these videos, you feel like a friend to me! 🌷

    Happy Mothers Day & thank you for sharing this video on a tough subject. While I have no reason to be suicidal thanks to the unconditional & loving support from family and friends, I am however not thrilled with the idea of living longer. I say this thanks this MonSter in us. Half of my fatigue stems from the fight i give to remain positive & active in my own life. I do eat very well thanks to being a professional chef & researching what foods are good and not good, thankfully I enjoy enough of the healthy foods & I'm strong enough to limit what we shouldn't really have to maintain a healthier life. I do drink water mostly every day & have learned the importance of drinking the recommended Early in the day & less as I get closer to bed time. What I & I'm sure most everyone may prefer, Quality over quantity, if they can reduce or even Better, Eliminate symptoms Before extending average life span then to me That would be far better.
