“Many people with MS live full, active lives,” says Nancy L. Sicotte, M.D., director of the Multiple Sclerosis Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. “We think of it as a chronic disease that can be managed, but there are a small percentage of people with severe MS who will die from complications.”
“When patients come in after their diagnosis, they are usually devastated because they think it means they will be in a wheelchair in five years, but this is simply not true,” Dr. Sicotte says. So, if you’re living with MS it doesn’t mean that you absolutely need a wheelchair.
