Hi Dor, Although I can’t tell you whether your doctors should check you for MS, I will tell you that many of us have symptoms similar to MS (I know I did), and we included MS patients in most of our studies over the past decade. I saw many overlapping presentations in many of us. It can be great to get that evaluated, and off the table (hopefully). A brain MRI will usually do it. If we have EDS or other connective tissue disorders, a lumbar puncture is usually discouraged because we can develop spinal leaks after the puncture. Please keep us posted, and know you are not alone…

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
