Yeah, I saw this one too. I see several MS patients come in to do PT while I have mine and they complain of similar issues. My "workout" partner also has MS and she has the same aversion to cardio that I have.

Yes-----depending where the MS lesions are in the brain and spinal cord, it can affect the Autonomic Nervous System.

There's also people with EDS who's myelin sheath has been damaged----sometimes resulting in MS.

I had a friend with MS who could no longer sit up, and had to be in a reclining wheel chair. This was in the last stages of her MS. She passed away in Oct. 2002 in a nursing home after developing sepsis from lack of proper care of her foley catheter.

She was another victim of dismissive doctors.

Do the lesions locations change or remain in the same place?

I had a girlfriend who after lyme was found to have POTS and brain lesions. The locations seemed to move so that is why they did NOT think it was MS but rather neurological lyme.

It is all so complicated.
