any have Multiple Sclerosis n PCOS?
I have MS too. I was diagnosed in 2008.
It is funny b/c I had finally got the courage to start going through all of my doctor's apointments and everything my insurance company wanted me to do (to get approved for the surgery) and then I lost my vision in my right eye (which came back thankfully). Of course after that I had to completely stop my lap band journey and go to Neuros to find out what was wrong with me.
After I finally found out that I had MS, I had numerous relapses and didn't know if the lap band or any type of weight loss surgery was for me. Right now I am on short term disability b/c I am numb from the waist down. I guess this probably wouldn't be the right time to go on the "6 month diet" for my insurance company, huh? Since I can barely walk, it is safe to say that I can't do any exercise program.
It sucks b/c based on the fact that I have PCOS, Hypothyroid, Sleep apnea AND MS, should be enough for the insurance companies to be like "oh yeah, she needs it". But, I know it isn't enough. Most of my problems aren't a dang "co-morbidity".
I am just glad I found this post b/c now I am not the only one with both PCOS and MS. Now it makes me wonder if these two are related somehow?
