Default What Is Your Lifespan?
Take the test.

Damn, I'm gonna live to be 95... I knew I shouldn't have given up smoking and drinking..

However it did not ask if you have a chronic illness like MS (not a fatal disease, but?)

I'll tell you what, mine said 81, but as Sally pointed out, it didn't ask "Do you have MS" (or cancer, RA, diabetes, etc.)

AND I marked "never smoked", but it didn't give me a chance to mark how much second-hand smoked I've been exposed to.

I don't think I want to live 19 more years anyway.

Right now my only vices are junk food and reality tv. I love my hostess cakes and chips. oh can't forget chocolate. In fact I think I'll have a Suzy Q right now.

Mine said 87 but I had to choose smoke less than 2 packs a day. Reality is I smoke about a pack a week. Can't seem to completely give them up.

Didn't someone say that M.S. takes about 7 years off a lifespan? Not sure if I read that somewhere or am confusing it with something else.
Guess I really don't care how long I live as long as my MIND stays sharp.

OH! And SusieQ is my favorite junk food too!!!!

Just for fun (?) I found some other life expectancy calculators on line. They asked different questions, some more and some less. One gave me 70, the other 65.
