It can be both. It is a chronic, progressive and irreversible condition. It is managed by treating the symptoms and by patient education (example: balance activity with rest) to prolong as normal and active a lifestyle as possible for as long as possible. Although a minority of people die indirectly from MS, most live full, productive lives.

My father was diagnosis with MS 15 years ago and give 6 months to 60 years to live. Like most people tell you it is not a terminal disease. He has gone up and down for the past 15 years and has been close to death twice so far. Depending on what type of MS (there are three different types) depends on what you should expect. It is the effects of MS not MS directly that may take you, an example is, an attack on your kidneys,,, my dad might not pass on from MS but from Kidney failure. There is lots of information out there you can research. They don't have a cure and they don't know a lot about MS but they are continuing to research.

Big Pharma Companies Hate This...
Hello, my name is Ken Drew...
In this short and controversial health exposé, I’m going reveal the one amazing little secret, long suppressed by Big Pharma, that will bulletproof your body against the scary illnesses like Cancer, Heart disease, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Arthritis and more....and its something that you can do right now in your home.
Without ever popping a single pill, getting any dreaded needle, prescriptions of any kind. Even sidestepping alternative therapies that never seem to work. Ineffective supplements that waste time and frustrate you to no end. Not to mention tear a hole in your wallet...
...Or even put you in an early grave.

Is Ms Terminal

It is a disease of exacerbations and remissions. A patient may live many years. Chronic??Not terminal for sure. Although death may eventually occur.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH1RD to find out what all the fuss is about.

my mother was diagnosed with ms while she was pregnant with me (i'm 24 now). she's one of the few that is not only affected physically, but mentally as well. she has trouble walking and performing simple tasks (showering, dressing, ect) and her memory is slipping, and she has the mental capacity of a child. when i was young, she seemed fine, but over the years she's gradually gotten worse. there is no cure, there are lots of treatment options, but it will not kill you. if you want more information on it, do a search for the multiple sclerosis society, it's a great organization that keeps up to date on the facts of ms and treatment options.

I have a bestfriend whos mother has it...it is more like a terminal disease because the life expectancy decreases. The brain stops telling the body what to do and over a period of time we can no longer walk or even feed ourselves. Eventually our brain pauses our breathing, heartbeat etc

I'm pretty sure it isn't chronic... but I don't know if it's necessarily considered "terminal".
