My question is not about me. I have a 35
year old friend diagnosed with MS. She
currentl is not taking anything
medications but will be taking Rebif the
end of this month.
She has at least 30+ lesions on brain,
She recently has been diagonsed with
pulsatile tinnitus. I suspect that the
tininitus is realted possibly to her MS
lesions. She has seen a Neurological dr
here in Charlote NC but he said that he
has never heard of MS causing tinnitus.
Has any Dr in this network ever heard of
it and if so what can they reference that
we can bring to her dr. Thank you
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive
autoimmune disease of the central nervous
system. The myelin coverings of the nerves
and nerve tracts are damaged during MS.
Lesions can be located anywhere on the
brain and/or the spinal cord. If a
lesion(s) appears on the acoustic nerve or
acoustic tract, a person may experience
hearing difficulties including tinnitus.
