A member asked:
Can you please tell me how lupus affecting the nervous system and ms differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SEE BELOW: Lupus may mimic ms and in evaluating a patient for ms, we commonly check lupus blood tests to make certain. But in general, this is a collagen vascular disease involving several organs in the periphery, not just brain or spinal cord, while ms is restricted to the central nervous system.
