One of the most educational things for me has been when someone finally gets out of limbo after suspecting MS and it's NOT MS! Since this was not an isolated event in a relatively small community of people, I felt it was worth bringing to people's attention. I'd never saw CM on any of the published lists that have conditions that could be confused with MS and never even heard of it before them -- and they both had so many sx that absolutely could have been mistaken for MS!

I don't know a lot about Syringomyelia but I've often seen it mentioned in conjunction with CM (and you probably know that the board here is combined). Thanks for the links -- I definitely should try to learn about that as well!
