MND is typically fatal within 2-5 years. Around 50% die within 14 months of diagnosis. The remaining 50% will not necessarily die within the next 14 months as the distribution is significantly skewed. As a rough estimate, 1 in 5 patients survive for 5 years, and 1 in 10 patients survive 10 years. Stephen Hawking is a well-known example of a person with MND, and has lived for more than 40 years with the disease.

What does the structure of a neuron look like?
There are three types of Neurone and a different structure for each. Each of these types has all the same part just in a different arangement. They have a part callled the Axon which is where they send their Action Potentials (impulses) down, parts called Dendrites which is the heavily branched part where they receive stimulationfrom and a part inbwetween called the Cell Body which is where the Nucleus is. We will look at them in the order they would come in a complex reflex arc. Firstly the Sensory Neurone: This type of cell has dendrites that are out on a stalk from the cell body. These dendrited are specialised to activate neurone when a specific stimulation type is present. The axon from this cell type is usually not so long as in motot neurones but substantially longer than in interneurones. The cell body sits roughyl in the middle ot the two branches (the axon and the dendrite branches). Secondly the Interneurone: This types of cell are what is mostly found in the brain. They have incredibly branched dedrites making them look very like a tree. Their axons may or may not be branched and their length OS also very variable. Finally the Motor Neurone: Here the cell body and the dendrites are very close together, infact the dendrites brach directly of from the cell body. The axon in a cell of this type is usually very long and not very branched at all. This part will be connected to another neurone to pass the singal (in the form of an action potential) on to whatever organ is to be affecteed.
A is for what part of the neurone that carries impulses away from the cell body?
A is for the axon, which is a long, thin extension of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells.
Do you live after having Lyme Disease?
Yes. It is only in very extreme cases where Lyme Disease isn't diagnosed and treated for a long period of time that it is fatal. It isn't the Lyme Disease that would be fatal but rather complications and co-infections that could result from the disease going untreated. In some cases, Lyme Disease that isn't treated for an extended time may lead to paralysis. Most often, Lyme Disease is discovered and treated before any permanent damage is sustained.
How long an organism lived?
An organism can live as long as it can live.
How long has motor neurone disease been recognised as a disease?
Since 1869.
Is Colm Murray recovering from motor neuron disease?
No he is not. Nobody in the history of the world has ever recovered from Motor Neurone Disease. Sad to say a cure for this terrible disease is still a long way away

How long can you live with lung disease that can not be treated?
How long a person can live with lung disease depends on the type of lung disease. Their overall health has an effect on how long they live.

How long are you supposed to live if you have celiac disease?
There isn't anytime where you can know how long your going to live. Celiac Disease is not like cancer and you can die from it. Its like a healthy diet.
