Is multiple sclerosis the 1killer in the US?

In: Health, Autoimmune Diseases, Multiple Sclerosis [Edit categories]

Answer:

Generally MS is not a killer. It is a debilitating, disease that presents itself differently in all patients. A patient can die from complications if left untreated. There are many forms of disease modifying drugs available now. I encourage anyone that has MS to see a neurologist and get on a course of treatment
