Multiple sclerosis can survive for a period of time in the clinic is not clear, the existence of individual differences, if active and effective treatment may not affect the life.
Multiple sclerosis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, and autoimmune system abnormalities, viral infections, genetic factors, environmental factors and other factors related to multiple sclerosis is currently a disease with no way to completely cure the disease, can only be through the regular treatment of long-term survival with the disease.
Multiple sclerosis patients active treatment and rehabilitation exercise can slow down the disability process. In case of progressive MS, the disease may deteriorate within a relatively short period of time after the onset of the disease leading to disability or death; in case of relapsing-remitting type, through active treatment, the disease can be survived for a long period of time, but most of the life expectancy is affected due to disability and complications, while a small number of well controlled cases may not affect the life expectancy.
If diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, patients should be treated as early as possible, after standardized and reasonable treatment can help to control the progression of the disease, alleviate the corresponding symptoms, and thus improve the quality of life.
