I have mild psoriasis. I had markers for thyroid and rheumatoid arthritis when they did my LP, but so far thyroid testing has been normal except during my first flare (had hypertyroidism for about 3 months). My knees generally kill me, but I think that it is just regular arthritis.

Interesting topic! Besides being SPMS, I also have arthritis, sebhorrhea (sp?), fibromyalgia and now atrial fibrillation probably as a result of the MS. I almost forgot depression, but I don't know if that's a separate thing or part of everything else???? Guess we're just lucky......NOT!!!!

If so, count me in on this one as well.

Supposedly I have/ had Graves Disease. I say supposedly. in 99 I was hospitalized b/c my overactive thyroid caused my heart to beat so fast that they thought I was going to have a heart attack.

The funny thing is, after I had DD I did the rdioactive iodine treatment that was supposed to kill my thyroid, now 4 yrs later, I have not been on thyroid meds for 3 years and my levels are still testing at a normal range. So i dunno.

Besides MS and all its symptoms I have--Atrial Fibrillation,Fibro,
Arthritis, had a hysterectomy because of endometriosis,acid reflux disease
diverticulitis, COPD, High Colesterol, had a blockage cleared near heart

Ooo putting all together like that just makes me feel sicker

With the MS and all the other problems it scares me, "what is really
going to happen to me"

I just have to keep my FAITH stronger that it will get me through.
