What is the median life expectany for a woman with ms?

Poss.close to normal: Without knowing your level of disabiltity, that may be difficult to predict. Many years ago, a study out of the mayo clinic, found that most indiviidual lived close to their expected lifespan, that ms may have shortened their lifespan by only a couple of years. This study was performed before all of the second generation medications and most of the first generation medication drugs.

Normal, but: Untreated MS can have a shortened lifespan of 8-14 yrs, but well treated MS can result in normal lifespan. Best study so far compared Betaseron with no treatment, and those on Betaseron lived full span. This could be expanded to more potent agents such as Gilenya or Tysabri, (natalizumab) which might not only live longer, but have less disease limitations.
