I have had multiple sclerosis for 23 years. I was just diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Anyone else have both of these?

I was originally diagnosed with a brain tumour.

I was told after days of scans and tests that they believed I had a brain tumour and they did 2 biopsies and that's how MS was eventually diagnosed thankfully

Im looking for advice? I will be 57 this month and I met with neurology nurse practitioner today. I have spinal stuff going on that could explain my numbness in my arms and the tingling but what led me to them is my frequent falling. I've fallen 3 times in 8 months. Once in the shower. Second time at a childcare center because I work with behavioral children and I fell broke my wrist and I thought I did something to my neck, bit through my lip. Then several weeks ago I just face planted in the garage and broke my nose. The mri did show lesions but I'm pretty old to be diagnosed. Im not sure I want to be diagnosed at this age? Should I even pursue it? Im so confused? Im not one to stick my head in the ground but I also don't want to sit around and get worse. I have other symptoms and I've fallen many times before here and there and just chalked it up to me being clumsy. I could use some advice?
