A member asked:

What happens if i have l'hermitte how likely is it that it's caused by ms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible : But would check for B-12 issues, cord compression besides MS. In younger patients, higher possibility of MS, but at your age, maybe cervical stenosis or spondylosis. If not clearcut, evaluate possible Lyme disease, arteritis, lupus, HIV, etc.
