Ms and other disabilities

Does anyone else have MS along with other chronic disabilities? I am a survivor of PTSD and Ms. I often wonder if there is any predisposition to other nervous system anormalities and multiple sclerosis
@novemberrain

Coeliac disease and temporal lobe epilepsy. The latter has been put down to stress, not MS. I can get behind that idea with life events occurring at the time....it's one big party here, hold the gluten 🤣 take care x

I'm high-functining Autistic w/ ADHD, and presumably that'd been the source of previously misdiagnosed anxiety and depressive disorders. MS comes with a bunch of comorbities, it's a thing. For most, it's hard to speak of predisposition, as it's more 'a predictor ' - statically, fewer people have MS than X, but amongst PwMS, more have X than in similar demographic samples of the gen. Pop. There seems to be a causal relationship between MS and anxiety and depression, which are symptoms of MS. For the rest, it's all corellation. Though I can imagine many an individual with chronic disease's interaction with the medical system for some form of trauma and sequelae - but even with an easy ride in the system, a DX is an open-faced trauma sandwich on horror bread. Also perhaps some observation bias in that PwMS will be more attuned to matters of mental health and neurotype.
