Default MS and Lupus

I have a friend that has been sick for a long time with all the MS symptoms that we generally have. She found a neurologist that dx her with MS.

Well this past week she was so ill, that they sent her to the ER for bloodwork. Her ANA was high, she said the doc told her she has Lupus. I asked her, does that mean you don't have MS? She said she was so upset, that she didn't ask any questions.

What do you all think? Since most of the symptoms are the same or similar, and now a positive ANA.

Can you have both MS and Lupus?
