Avatar f tn Hi and welcome, Q: " if I do have this, am I going to die young?" A: The most inportant word in this question is 'if' and even IF you do end up being diagnosed with a neurological condition like MS, the answer would be No, because MS is not that type of medical condition. Q: "What is the life expectancy for someone that is diagnosed at 18?
Avatar n tn Time to decide that life with MS will change their life and their families. MS encumpases the whole family not just the individual with the disease. This is a learning process for the whole family. I hope that this helps some.There are many more out there with more definitive medical answers that me. I am just offering some explanation for the seeming reluctance to confront the disease or possibility of it by him. Gods Blessings to you both as you travel down this road.
Avatar n tn You really don't want to look for a specific answer to "life expectancy" you need to find out what his doctor plans for treatment and follow that plan. For some folks the time is long and others not so long.......depends! Best of Luck........post again.
1210403 tn?1277953086 I have been experiencing symptoms that are preventing me from going to work and are affecting my life. I have had bouts of this on and off for a number of years, but this fall it hit me like a ton of bricks. I have muscle weakness in my lower legs, with constant aching. I have weakness in my hands as well. I can no longer open anything with a lid. I am having to use a cane at times to walk, as my legs are so weak. I favor one leg over the other.
Avatar f tn He has metastasis of lymph nodes and bones. The doctors have not given us any kind of life expectancy. Did anyone have experiences that can share with me about the patient's life expectancy under this kind of condition?
Avatar f tn With appropriate medical care, individuals with the more severe form can look forward to normal life expectancy. In addition to the benign tumors that frequently occur in TSC, other common symptoms include seizures, mental retardation, behavior problems, and skin abnormalities, which may take some time to develop. Surgery, including dermabrasion and laser treatment, may be useful for treatment of skin lesions. It is important that your daughter be regularly monitored by her doctor.
Avatar f tn Since I cannot speak with doctors and I cannot take time off from work to visit on a regular basis, what would her life expectancy be, since she is refusing to stop the drinking?
Avatar n tn Hi, The chemotherapy would have immediate and delayed effects. Some of the immediate side effects like nausea and vomiting already have fairly good medications to counter the adverse experience of treatment. The other symptoms such as fatigability still need much work (put another way, this is something the patient has to deal with). The best demonstration of the treatment working would be to identify some of the symptoms before.
Avatar m tn One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?
