Is MS a fatal disease? Please answer

MS has impacted my life in so many ways. The biggest impact is on my overall lifestyle. Before MS I was super fit and super active. With my diagnosis (and COVID pandemic) I have had to reel that in so much. Which bums me out because working out is my stress relief. My symptoms affect me in one way or another everyday which is sometimes overwhelming. I can’t get too hot because the heat makes my symptoms flare. I LOVE summer and the heat so that has been a huge adjustment. I can’t train Brazilian jujitsu, MMA, and kickboxing as often as I was or would like to due to heat and the pandemic. Living with MS is a challenge and sometimes seems like it can be too much to deal with for the person with MS and their friends, coworkers, and loved ones. But, I can do it and I do, every single day. It’s not ever easy and trying to be ‘normal’ takes effort but I’m learning how to adjust little by little. I really would like people to know that just because I carry this well doesn’t mean it’s not heavy. Please know that MS is different for everyone. Also, one day I may seem fine but the next not so much. MS like to play tricks on us MS warriors.
