Epub 2017 Jun 12.Differentiating Multiple Sclerosis from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Alan Light’s ME/CFS/MS study suggests that people with MS may be more fatigued than people with ME/CFS, but experience much less post-exertional malaise. In fact, for many with MS, fatigue is their most debilitating symptom. MS and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are both considered to be amongst the most fatiguing of all diseases. As in ME/CFS, a bedridden state increases the risk of all of these.
Respiratory failure, pneumonia, sepsis and/or uremia are often listed as contributing causes on their death certificates. When people with MS die, they usually do so because they either kill themselves, or from an inability to carry out basic functions such as breathing or swallowing. According to one site, the average lifespan after an MS diagnosis is about 25 -35 years.
For one thing, it kills more people and in a horrible way. MS does things to people that ME/CFS doesn’t. About ten years into having chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), I still remember being tested for it and how thankful I was that I didn’t have it. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a dreaded disease.
