Lesions on the brain and autoimmune disease
Autoimmune Diseases | Last Active: May 15 2:14pm | Replies (54)Comment receiving replies
I have autoimmune problems as well and have small lesions appearing in my brain and moving in very unusual directions, making for MRIs that even neurologists say they have never seen. My diagnosis, only a week or so ago, is Clippers, a rare demyelinating disease with only 50-60 cases identified across the country. You might mention Clippers to your neurologist.

If you can get a diagnosis for MS, there's more medication approved, and a bigger support network.... more research, it's essentially a demilenating autoimmune disease that can present differently in different people. Please consider getting a second opinion? Ms has good treatment options, and these other autoimmune diseases have similar issues, but different or fewer treatments.
Autoimmune sucks, sorry that you are going through this....

Thank you for this information, I see my neurologist in August as I also have Familial Essential Tremor. And I am having so many other symptoms that I’m hoping she will actually check me out instead of just saying that it’s the tremor that is causing my other symptoms, which I don’t agree with. I have been researching my symptoms and they are symptoms of MS but she tells me that I don’t have that or Parkinson’s or MS. We all know our bodies and what is happening and they just don’t listen.
