I can't really find any medical papers online attributing this to MS...but wonder if any of you have heard of or experienced this...

It's one thing after another...
I think I remember Dr Wynn and Cathy saying that lots of their MS patients have low blood pressure. And when you have Tysabri infusions it drops more. Mine is slightly high, but it has been low at times. I take a low dose BP med but both my parents had high blood pressure too. So do my siblings.
