I think it depends on how long you have had it but yeah it can be terminal.

You can't catch MS at an airline terminal. However, depending on the person, it may just be "bothersome" throughout their life. For other people , it can severely restrict them physically. If a person has MS .. the worst kind, the worst form of it .. it could cut down your life span.. but it varies from person to person. Many people live a mostly normal life, and lifespan with MS. To learn more about it .. please try: www.medmd.com Tons of great information on that site that is very reliable. Good Luck ! :)

MS is terminal in that it is a progressive disease that will shorten your life. The variable factor, however, is the speed of progression. Some patients can live with MS for decades while some are incapacitated and die in less than a decade.

I strongly suggest that you go to :www.mayoclinic.com - then click on the site and search MS - The Mayo Clinic is world renown and it is best to seek the correct answer and therefore eliminating any anxiety that Yahoo!Answers participants may give you. Better to know the true facts then worry needlessly. I hope this will help you get the correct answers. Good Luck and God Good Blessing on you and yours.

yes.
i think it depends on when you develope it and how severe and treatments that can slow it down. i know someone in his mid 40s. hes in a wheelchair now and probably wont make it much past his 50th birthday but other people can live for much longer
