| Complications include those related to symptoms such as extreme fatigue, deteriorating general health, urinary incontinence or frequent urinary tract infections, constipation or bowel incontinence, skin ulceration, painful muscle spasms and stiffness, paralysis, and depression or other mental health problems. Although MS is not in itself fatal, those who are severely disabled may die from the complications of being bedridden, including recurrent infections such as pneumonia, blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), infected open areas of the skin, and suicide. |
