In an interview, Dr. Ahmed Shatila, neurology consultant at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (in partnership with Mayo Clinic), outlines the three main types of multiple sclerosis (MS): relapsing-remitting MS, secondary progressive MS, and primary progressive MS. While MS can reduce life expectancy by 7–15 years on average, medications have shown to minimize this impact. Dr. Shatila emphasizes that MS is not fatal and encourages people with MS to maintain an active lifestyle, including working, exercising, and adopting healthy habits to improve their quality of life.
