Was originally dx, by Mayo Clinic in 2002, as likely having CNS Lupus, although they did not rule out MS. Over a year later, my neuro changed the dx to MS.

However, last summer, I began to see an MS Specialist, who wondered why the dx was switched. She re-did some tests, and concluded that, although my symptoms more closely resembled lupus, the tests appeared to back up the MS dx.

So, at this time, she is assuming that I have MS, and treating me for that. However, she continues to keep lupus in the back of her mind as a possibility.

Like you, I found very little information about CNS Lupus, specifically. For me, MS, as a more common disease, seemed less frightening.
