A member asked:

Is it possible for multiple sclerosis to present itself in the form of an insatiable appetite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Suggest alternative : Have never heard of or seen a MS patient experience "insatiable appetite", but not unique for a diabetic presentation, and may be seen with lesions of the hypothalamic area of brain. However, steroid therapy in MS patients commonly results in weight gain and tendency to have a robust appetite.
