"NPR recently aired an [1]interview with executive TV news producer Richard Cohen, who has been working and living with MS for 30 years (imagine covering events in war zones while legally blind!).

A study that looked at over 9000 subjects diagnosed with MS since 1948. The median survival time from onset was 10 years shorter for multiple sclerosis patients than for the age-matched general population, and multiple sclerosis was associated with an almost threefold increase in the risk for death. According to death certificates, more than half (56.4%) of the patients had died from multiple sclerosis (what does that mean?).
