Wat is de levensverwachting van iemand met MS?
Progressieve fase Het beloop is echter bij iedereen anders. De levensverwachting is bij de meeste mensen met MS vrijwel hetzelfde als bij gezonde mensen. Als een MS-patiënt overlijdt, dan is dat meestal aan een andere ziekte of aan complicaties van MS zoals een longontsteking.
What kind of condition is MS?
MS is an autoimmune condition. This is when something goes wrong with the immune system and it mistakenly attacks a healthy part of the body – in this case, the brain or spinal cord of the nervous system. In MS, the immune system attacks the layer that surrounds and protects the nerves called the myelin sheath.
Is MS a serious disease?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance. It’s a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild.
Can you live a long life with MS?
Most people with MS can expect to live as long as people without MS, but the condition can affect their daily life. For some people, the changes will be minor. For others, they can mean a loss of mobility and other functions.
Can you still live a normal life with MS?
MS isn’t a fatal condition in most cases, and most people with MS have a close-to-normal life expectancy. But since the disease varies so much from person to person, it can be difficult for doctors to predict whether their condition will worsen or improve.
Does MS ever stop progressing?
MS is considered a progressive condition. This means that symptoms change over time, and it may progress to another type of MS. More advanced types of MS can become more difficult to manage. Getting started on treatments soon after diagnosis can lengthen the time between relapses.
