FYI: MS info

[transmothra]

for Holly, who recently found out that a dear old friend has MS:

The life expectancy of people with MS is now nearly the same as that of unaffected people.

The earlier in life MS occurs, the slower disability progresses... Those diagnosed before age 35 have the best prognosis. Females generally have a better prognosis than males.
