A member asked:
Which is more serious: multiple sclerosis or lupus?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hard to answer: Either of these can be a very serious, difficult to treat illness. Some forms of lupus are fairly benign, some cases of MS are quiet without many symptoms. Either can lead to a healthy life with a normal life span though.

Both are significant: But, both are potentially treatable and controllable, and advise that MS be handled by neurology and lupus by rheumatology.
