This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

.

Hi, I would just like to say thank you and I found the mentioned link very interesting.
One thing I found a bit confusing was were they saying night sweats could be a symptom of MS or couldn't? I thought they meant could.
I have developed night sweats even though it is winter in Australia and am confused and know the blood work showed nothing. Another symptom I wonder about mentioning or not to the new Neuro who will be on the case of discovering whether or not she thinks all my symptoms could be MS too.

Here is one of the best articles I've seen that helps you think about other illnesses that can mimic MS or be misdiagnosed as MS.

The Differential Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

I thought it ought to be here somewhere that folks can seach for it in the future. Ken

By far the most important disease confused with MS is
psychiatric illness

does this mean then that some of us here are crazy?

Hi Jules

when my ms was most active I too had night sweats, almost every night I would wake up soaking wet. Since my symptoms have calmed down I have not had any. I think these are directly linked to ms, but that's just my $.00002 worth.


Robbie about one in 5 around here are definitely crazy!! you have been here long enough to know that!! (pointing my finger @ Bob)
