Can Lupus cause Multiple Sclerosis?!
Question:
Can Lupus cause Multiple Sclerosis?
Just wondering if that is possible. I was diagnosed with Lupus about a year ago, and I am having alot of symptoms like eye pain, muscle weakness, confusion, dizziness, etc. which are seen in MS patients so I was just wondering what someone else thought. Thanks!
Answers:
well you can have both but it is rare. however, Lupus can attack the central nervous system, mine does, and I have a lot of MS features, the differance is in MS the mylan sheath gets destroyed in your brain and spine, in Lupus it does not. however, the eye pain, confusion, dizziiness, weakneess falling are features of both. Ive been tested for MS 3 times, during my course with Lupus, but its not there. So they consider my Lupus mainly Central Nervous System Involved. which includes seizures, migranes, and all mentioned above, and falls.
