A member asked:
Is it possible to have 2 neurological disorders at the same time? such as cerebral palsy & ms
13 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Unfortunately yes.: Cerebral palsy may be associated with problems during gestation or associated with birth traumas and has nothing to do with genetic susceptibilities to immune disorders later in life. If ms does occur, and you already suffer neurological disability, it is truly imperative that you start treatment asap with a potent medication. (gilenya, tecfidera, tysabri).

Yes: Yes it is possible to have two neurological conditions. It is also possible that all of the symptoms that a person has can be explained by one diagnosis, rather than two. It would be best to get checked by your neurologist.
