I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1995 and diagnosed with MS in 2013. Does anyone else have both? I suspect there is a link

Hi Les. MS is Multiple Sclerosis
It means my body attacks the nerves in my brain, causing problems with my ability to function as it used to, fatigue is the worst problem. Balance and walking is a problem. Memory is poor, nerve pain can be bad, and much more
Yes, I thought it might be but just wanted to make sure. A friend of mine in Pretoria does have both epilepsy and multiple sclerosis... He tends to lose balance and has partial seizures.

Hi. We’re not aware of a link between epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. But you could also ask on our Epilepsy Action online community, forum4e forum.epilepsy.org.uk/. It may be one of those members has both conditions.
