Q: Lupus And Ms?

Hello. I am 32 yearss old and am currently being tested for lupus and sjogren's syndrome. I was also diagnosed with ms in august of 2000. My current symptoms are fatigue, joint pain, raynaud's phenomenon (which was diagnosed a couple of years ago while taking part in a study for ms) a malar rash, morning stiffness, frequent urination, and constant lower back pain. My mom also has ms, and my grandmother had discoid lupus. Does anyone know if it is possible to have both ms and lupus? Any information is appreciated. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Hi
I personally have no experience with ms but did run across a woman who had both sle and ms several years ago. I think it is kinda rare and I only spoke with her twice, I was still in the diagnostic phase back then. I wish you luck in dealing with all of this and hope that whatever the diagnosis turns out to be that you receive the best care possible. Remember I am not a medical professional and can not say for certain that my information is accurate especially given how old it is.

Thanks for your reply. After doing some research it appears that it is possible to have both, but like you said it is very rare. Thanks again.
