Oh, and I always loathed going to the doctor, especially since my mom was dx schizophrenic. I probably had MS going back to the 70's, but I ignored a lot of symptoms because I did not want to get labeled.

However, when you are at the point of 4 objective lesions in your spine, and a classic presentation of spinal lesion activity, they do not doubt you. For me that occurred in 1991, years after my first symptoms.

Bipolar can be as a result of MS (over time), and/or some people present first with bipolar and eventually the REAL MonSter (MS) makes itself blatantly obvious. They are quite used to running into this.

I don't know anything about Grave's disease though . . .
