<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> A couple of recent posts touched on MS so here goes... I have heard of the CD and MS relationship but nothing concrete. What are the issues in regards to MS? I have celiac, my two uncles on my dads side have and had MS, one passed away. There are no other diagnosed celiacs prior to myself and my son. For the last two months, I have been getting "numb" spots on the right side of my face/head, my right lower arm/hand and my right lower leg/foot. Also my right eye swells intermittantly. I have been to the GP and an opthomologist. Now I have a referral to a neurologist which the earliest appt was for October. I took the cancellation list route since I happen to work 1 floor down from the neurologists office. My GP says although the MS is a possibility, it is slight. I have a fear that it could be MS but again it could be something simple. The hardest thing I am dealing with right now it the "not knowing" what it is. Two years ago the gastro said I would feel better on this diet. HA! I have felt worse and have never felt so unhealthy in my life. I was always healthy, very rarely missing school or work (and that due to migraines). Never caught the flu until I was 28 and that has been the only flu bug I got. I am still very healthy but feel run down, almost depressed at times. Sorry to be so down but any info would be greatly appreciated. Karen, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada [log in to unmask]
