Well I have the MS obviously. Then I developed anemia. I've always had major depression -- What came first? Chicken (depression) or egg (MS)?
I have 2 new diagnoses in the last few months.
1. Some POTS related disease -- postural orthosratic hypotension. I have low blood pressure and rapid heart beat that skyrockets from sitting to standing. There is no cure. Just drink Gatorade , water, and eat a lot of salt.
2. Seborrheic dermatitis. On the sides of my nose and now causing crusting and puffy flaking under my eyes. I hate it. I discovered this is common with people who have neurological diseases like Parkinson's and MS. There is no cure. I can use steroid cream which apparently thins your skin.
These things must run in clusters, especially the autoimmune related stuff. Once your immune system is out of whack it seems like any and all immune related issues can pop up.
SIGH........both the POTS and SD appeared after having a months long foot infection that involved weeks and weeks of antibiotics.
