What is the life expectancy of someone with Spina Bifida, and Asthma, but otherwise in good health?



Where can i find out?

Yeah, as long as there isnt any major complications along with it, a person with Spina Bifida can live a long normal (well, not normal, but you get the picture) life. I was born with it, had surgery when I was 5 days old and I will be 30 in May. I have aches and pains all the time, but Im used to it now as an everyday thing that I dont really pay attention to(kinda like breathing, you always do it, you just dont pay attention all the time) and Ive lead a pretty normal life. I was never able to play any contact sports as the fear was I was to get hit just right I could b paralyzed. Basically its not something that will ruin your life unless you let it.
The life expectancy for someone who has spina bifida is the same as people who don't have a disability, barring any other medical conditions, such as kidney failure, etc.
My 6yr old has spina bifida. People with spina bifida have a normal life expectancy. You can check out the www.sbaa.org for more infomation on spina bifida. Gl to ya.
