Is it true....who knows. If someone has managed to have MS burn out I don't think you will find them on a MS message board 
And what does burning it's self out really mean?
Like I have said before the concept of MS burning out is very intersesting to me. |
Hi Snoopy
What burning itself out means to me is that some PwMS may reach a plateau, when they are no longer having exacerbations..SPMS, maybe.
I am at a plateau and have been, since my start with LDN. I like to think that the LDN has stopped my progression, but who really knows for sure. It may just be the nature of my particular MS.
Right now, the only thing I am progressing in, is AGE
, and they haven't found a cure for that either! As far as the "Old Wive's Tale" , I'll change that to "A Condecending Old Neuro's Tale"
Sorry Snoopy, but there is no scientific proof that women "burn out" at menopause. Some may and some may not, depending on the course of
their MS, but I doubt if it has anything to do with "The Change of Life" .
Hugs,
