YES and NO
MS folks with some minor exceptions are more disease free then "NORMAL" folks.
However some MS folks take VERY VERY VERY POWERFUL chemotherapy drugs which GREATLY lower their immune system.
I am one of those who mistakenly did this. IT almost killed me. I got the flu (1st time in my life) then it developed into pneumonia(methotrexate induced -my chemotherapy drug). Had to take some drugs to kill the bugs that are harmful to MS folks. Almost died --then BIG FLARE of MS.
