What do Lupus, Parkinsons & M.S. have in common? Also are their symptions the same ???

Answer:
Lups and MS can be quite similar and both are autoimmune diseases. Lupus while not always attacking the central nervous system often does, and it can take quite some time to distingisue which disease is which, depending on progression of symptoms, and test results, MRI's and Spinal Tap Results. I have been tested for both over the years, mine came back as Lupus, with central nervous system disorders, my mylan sheeth which diteriorates in MS was in tact. But with both you can loose cognitive abilities, muscle control, cordination, etcParkinsons is also a dysfunction of the nervoussystem, but not an autoimmune disease.I do not know the exact cause, but can be hereditary, injury, look at Muhamad Ali and all the blows to his head, or enviromental, Micheal J Fox worked on a TV show in Canada where a good portion of the cast got Parkinsons younger than the Norm. Leading researcher (not just his cluster case, but others) that it can have enviromental componenets as well. There may also be a genetic link, like there is with all 3 of these illnesses.Each has organizations on the internet if you want more info.
Hope this helped

Lupus and multiple sclerosis are autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the self. Parkinson's is not. The symptoms of lupus and ms can be similar at times. Some people have both, that is lupus and ms in overlap. In lupus the immune system can and does attack any organ and system. In ms the immune system attacks the myelin sheath of the nerve pathways and impacts organs that way. Lupus and ms are very unpredictable. I don't know as much about parkinsons.
