What are Multiple Sclerosis symptoms wax and wane?
When Multiple Sclerosis symptoms "wax and wane," we call it "relapsing and remitting." This is the most common form of Multiple Sclerosis: RRMS, or Relapsing Remitting MS. RRMS is identified by distinct periods of disease activity (relapses) followed by longer periods of disease inactivity (remission)The other forms of Multiple Sclerosis are:Primary Progressive MS: This form of the disease is categorized by a distinct lack of relapses and/or remissions. It shows a continual, slow wordening of disease activity. Approximately 10% of MS patients are initially diagnosed as PPMS.Progressive Relapsing MS: This relatively rare form of MS is categorized by distinct relapses but no real remissions, and with each relapse, the disease progresses. Only about 5% of MS patients will develop PRMSSecondary Progressive MS: This form of the disease is what can come of Relapsing Remitting MS. Untreated, RRMS will normally develop into SPMS in ten years. This form is identical to Primary Progressive MS, except that it is a follow-on condition to RRMS. Although long-term data is not yet available, disease-modifying therapies available today are thought to delay the onset of SPMSAs mentioned earlier, RRMS is the most common form of MS, with approximately 85% of MS patients initially diagnosed in this category.
How old does someone live after being diagnosed with MS?
Before our modern medications, people with MS may have had a shorter life expectancy due to death from complications of progressive MS. Without treatment, people who have relapsing MS have about a 50% chance of it changing over to secondary progressive MS within 10 years, and they have far more chance of death due to complications when that occurs. With today's medications and early diagnosis and treatment, people with MS have lifespans which are comparable to those without MS. ======= Hi I've had MS for over 50 years. and I'm still here (with attitude). Also I know people with MS in their late 80's and 90's and they are still here. The trick is to keep yourself healthy, exercize, watch what you eat and take advantage to the medication that is available today. I personally use Avonex but there are many good treatment options. and like the person before me wrote, MS does not kill you complications from something else does but that can be true for anyone with or without MS. Most the people I know with MS are living normal lifespans same as people without MS. Go to some of the MS websites like; National MS society or MS society of America etc. Google MS for MS organizations they are massive. ALSO, you can go to a MS chat room and discuss your ms with other ms'rs like MSWorld.org or PeoplewithMS.org (or Com) I always get the last part confussed! LOL. Good Luck
