A member asked:
What to do if i have ms and i notice lupus has a lot of similarities. i was just curious which disease is worse to have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different disorders: Lupus can mimic MS, and rarely may co-exist. Severity of both can vary extensively. Cannot really compare one to another, but if you have MS only, best to use a potent medication such as Tysabri (natalizumab) or Gilenya.
