A member asked:
What to do if i have ms and i was wondering if ms is untreated and i get brain lesions can brain lesions cause death if so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MS mortality: Research suggests that lack of ms treatment may shorten lifespan, 8-14 yrs, but the bigger issue is resultant disability which can affect walking, balance, memory, energy, etc. If you have ms, you absolutely need to be treated.
