Anyone here have MS with epilepsy?

[Jan4you]

If you do have MS or another autoimmune disease with seizures.. how are you doing?

Do they interplay at all??

Thanks

I don't have MS but my Dad did & I have to admit I've always wondered if there was a connection to my E.

Hi, Jan,

There is plenty of research evidence that in some people epilepsy may be related to an autoimmune disorder.

And there's more. Just google "Autoimmune" and "Epilepsy"


Here's a string Robin posted here on the forum on the topic:

Thanks for those sites. What I was looking for was to TALK to anyone here who may be struggling with both MS and E.

I am on an MS forum too. ITs more common to have E with MS.

AGain.. thanks
