<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All-- Sorry for the short notice, but I have an appt. with a new neurologist tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon and I don't know what she might or might not know about CD and/or vs. MS. I've checked the archives and surmise from what I found that there doesn't seem to be a connection between the two diseases, though CD patients frequently present the neurological symptoms of MS. One posting mentioned a "calcification" that shows up on a brain MRI caused by gluten ingestion. Does anyone know how the changes in the brain are described when one has MS? The MRI of my brain in 1997 showed "white spots" that the radiologist felt were more prominent and greater in number than he would expect in someone my age (47 at the time). Secondly, can anyone share any site addresses that describe or address MS and CD? I've been gf/df since March 3, with a few accidental gluten ingestions), but my neurological symptoms are increasing - right arm is numb, sciatic nerve pain developed six weeks ago (MRI of lower lumbar spine was negative for disk herniation or impingement of nerve), left-sided clumsiness, especially when walking, increasing episodes of dizziness, leg muscle pain and cramping that varies from day to day, right eyelid droops shut periodically, and moderate weight loss (6 lbs in 8 months - now at 92 lbs with clothes on). If I'm gf/df now and my neuro symptoms are increasing, and I'm found to not have MS, that seems a rather bleak prognosis for CD. Any info anyone can share that would help in my visit with the neuro about CD and/or the possibility of MS would be greatly appreciated. I know this subject now resembles beating a dead horse - I apologize. I'll summarize any new or interesting info from the replies and/or my doc appt. Thanks. Ayn/Kansas
