Hey everyone, I just want to touch on a post from yesterday I believe. M.S. is not a fatal condition isn't exactly true. There are a number of things that can go wrong with treatment, especially while taking d.m.t.'s. A lot of times pneumonia CAN be an fork in your side, as well as several other conditions that wreak havoc on your body. So guys please do your homework before taking everything you read on this forum to hart and make strong health decisions, but please do your homework like we've all done countless times before!

You are right - MS is not USUALLY fatal by itself, but there is always the capacity for adverse events with treatments etc. There can also be impacts if a person is unlucky enough to get lesions in areas of the brain which regulate breathing, heart-rate etc, and while this is extremely rare it is not unheard of.

Of course, just trying to make the point that missinformation about the things that interest people's own moral compasses sometimes need many perspectives to find the flawes in their logic, which is welcomed of course, but it's not okay to point these ideals towards 1 correct narrative.

It appears that complications from issues created by MS or by its treatment, rather than MS itself, can be the cause of death in patients. Infections are a prime example of that.
