Yes, you can. One of the problems with MS (out of the many problems), is that doctors, friends, and even yourself can get into a pattern of blaming every symptom or illness on MS. Headaches? Must be my MS (when it could be migraines). Back pain? Must be my MS (when you could have a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease...I happen to have both of those on top of my MS...just had back surgery to take out a herniated disc). Flu-like symptoms? Must be my MS (when it could be the flu). In fact, people with MS have a HIGHER risk of developing other autoimmune disorders (such as lupus, fibro, rheumatoid arthritis, etc). So yes!! You could totally have both.

Yes, unfortunately. Between MS, Addison's, Fibro, degenerative disk, herniated disks, my back and leg pain is constant. I tool Lyrica years ago, but I packed on too much weight. Neurontin is the only thing my Dr says will help... He is SO WRONG

I was first dx with fibromyalgia... but after being dx with ms... I knew I had suffered from both for years.... explains a lot.

I have several auto immune diseases. They can go hand in hand. Along with MS, I have Celiac and Fibro. So yes, you can have it.

I have degenerative disk disease. As well been through one back surgery and two neck surgery n have ms wondering if they are linked together
