life-sustaining abilities


I want to apologize for my saying that you can't die from MS- some upset people. I completely agree that MS can take away life-sustaining abilities. So, yes, you can die from MS.

Still though, that is not going to happen one year after diagnosis, unless there is an extreme situation I've never heard of. I just don't want the public believing that MS is a death sentence.

Most people, before they die of MS, live with some degree of disability and frustration. I was diagnosed 23 years ago and am now quadriplegic. I'm not saying that MS is a happy thing, but it doesn't mean your life is coming to an end right away. I worked for 10 years as a teacher and now enjoy having more time to spend on my photography and writing.

I am frustrated every day, but I love my life.
