Then I come along and have MS.. plus a few other auto-immune diseases besides the MS.

It is not unusual to have more than one, or even something else in addition to MS. MS surely is enough for anyone, but that doesn't mean we can't add up more as time goes by.

In 1977-78 when I first presented with Myoclonic tremors and jerks they thought I had Wilson's disease. I was tested and tested. It is a hereditary disease, but glad I didn't have it. I had to have a Liver Biopsy too, not fun.

I have too much Copper, 24 hr collection of urine, and in the blood, and too low Ceruloplasmin in the blood. I didn't have the brown/gold eye circle (ring) that a specialist in the field at the Grand Rounds checked for with a split lamp.

He flew in to give a presentation on Wilson's. That's why so many specialists were there.

Hey, back then they had no clue. Had all the tests and the room of Grand rounds doctors from local, and many countries, discussed me. Had me demonstrate my tremors which were very odd.

Other diseases were mentioned but that one stood out in my mind until this day. I don't have it, yet they said avoid eating too much foods with copper in it.

Every eye doctor I go to, I have them look in my eyes for that sign. Still good. Phew!
