How common is it for MS sufferers to come down with Lupus?
An unfortunately pressing question, and I'm not having a lot of luck researching an answer.
One won't find the answer sitting at a bar.

1. It's very common for a person with one autoimmune disease to develop another
MS and Lupus are both autoimmune diseases. I would guess that there are no studies quantifying how often these 2 particular diseases co-exist. But that's just my guess from several years of lay-person research on lupus.It's also not unusual for each of these diseases to be misdiagnosed. Do lots of research on each disease. We have to be our own advocates (and sometimes our own doctors) in our medical system.
Oh my, and wait until 0bumble's "free medical care for all" kicks in.
Then we'll all be our own physicians, for sure.

Does this person REALLY have MS and Lupus, or did WillPitt simply hook up with a whining, hypochondriac narcissist (aka: DUmmy)?????? MS and Lupus are very real diseases; I have a good friend with Lupus. However, they're also both easily "faked" if one doesn't look for proof.
