Wat is the life expectancy of someone with severe brain atrophy who has a long-term history of multi-organ damage due t0 Sjorgens and Lupus? I am 67 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall amd weigh 123 lbs. In addition to the above, I have neuropathy throughout my body, rheumatoid arthritisl, avascular necrosis of bones, very advanced degenerative back and neck disease (can t walk due to spontaneous bone fractures thaat do not heal) and other problems. Thank you for your assistance. Donna Miller
I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. It is hard to give precise answers to a question about life expectancy since there are many conditions in play. I can tell you though that brain atrophy won't play any major role in your life expectancy as it is not threatening in itself, where the danger lies is with the damage to the other organs like heart, lungs and kidney due to Lupus, so your expectancy depends on the degree of damage in those organs. I hope to have been of help.
