"Most people experience their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40; the initial symptom of MS is often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye. Most MS patients experience muscle weakness in their extremities and difficulty with coordination and balance. These symptoms may be severe enough to impair walking or even standing. In the worst cases, MS can produce partial or complete paralysis. Most people with MS also exhibit paresthesias, transitory abnormal sensory feelings such as numbness, prickling, or "pins and needles" sensations. Some may also experience pain. Speech impediments, tremors, and dizziness are other frequent complaints. Occasionally, people with MS have hearing loss. Approximately half of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and poor judgment, but such symptoms are usually mild and are frequently overlooked. Depression is another common feature of MS."

fdm215 answer is pretty accurate. Although you can't die from MS you can die from complications due to MS.
I've progressive relapsing MS and my biggest problems at the moment are cognitive issues and pain.
Everybody has a different experience with MS. It is not a fatal disease since it does not attack major organs or muscles for that matter. The majority of people who have it live a normal or near normal life span and many of us live a normal life as well. The majority of us have a form of the disease that is relapsing/remitting which means that it comes and goes. However the progressive form of the disease is very disabling. It is impossible to predict what your friend's experience will be. While MS may render some people incapable of walking, talking or seeing, it is very benign and barely affects others at all.
