Do you know someone with MS who also has Parkinson’s

FindingAnswersMaccy profile image

Research suggests that the damage that MS causes to your brain can lead some people to develop Parkinson's later on.

So how common is it? Do you know someone with MS who also has Parkinson’s

No, I don't.

My brother in law who does not hae MS, was just diagnosed (54years old).

He attributes it to the vaccinations he got.

I don’t know anyone that has MS and Parkinson’s. I know that in my family my dad has Parkinson’s and he has two daughters that I have MS. I think it Hass to be pretty unfair if you have MS and deal with that and then later on you have to develop Parkinson’s disease.

I have been told by two Neurologists that a condition called (PML), where you violently thrash in your sleep is a Parkinson's indicator. There is a 60% higher chance that Parkinson's is in your late future. My father had Parkinson's, I have MS and PML. In a way the base of both diseases is on lesions, just depending on where they are in the brain.
