This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I am 12 mth post up from decompression surgery. I was 18mm herniated and went several yrs living with a fibromyalgia DX! I just learnt to live in pain. I have waited patiently for symptoms to go away. Most have not and actually have got worse. After researching I feel. Lot of my symptoms could be MS related. How common is it to have both? And could surgery have made MS symptoms worse? Please help. I hate Dr's, tests especially when I have to go in there with my own DX. Living in pain for too long.
Thanks in advance!

Should of stated I have chiari malformation that went I diagnosed for too long. Scared to go through that again to get misdiagnosed for years then give up on Dr's and Tests.

These autoimmune diseases are related. It depends on what part of the body the immune system attacks. Let Dr. Bergman explain it.
