Default How's Montel these days?

I haven't heard anything about Monte lately.... He's 58 years old, MS has got to be taking some of him down? He's always been positive about it and amazingly mobile with MS all these years...Been a role model or me....Always wondered how he does it.

Anyone know if he's still doing 'ok'?

I found this dated today, but don't know how recent the interview was?

First answer........and he calls MS a "deadly disease". Any disease can potentially become deadly given the right circumstances.......even a common cold.

"Thank you so much for having me and giving me this opportunity to share what really is my personal journey with MS. I'm hoping the people that are on to ask questions recognize that my book Climbing Higher isn't just about people who suffer from MS, it's about people suffering from any chronic deadly illness and the people who love them."

Actually, my mother died of "complictions caused by MS". That is on her death certificate. It might be rare, I don't know, but it CAN be deadly.

Unfortunately, you're right, Lynn.

I think mine will say "complications caused by living life to the fullest"!

I'm kind of hoping mine will be "old age", and not a complication of MS.

I know they say MS isn't deadly, but why on the EDSS chart is the last one (10) "death due to MS"?
