Does anyone know if yeast infections are associate with MS?
I’ve been having problems for the last 5 years and recently my neurologist found lesions on my brain. Given my medical history, he believes I may have ms. I had a problem with Muscle spacticity (not sure about the spelling) for about 4months and my congnitive thought process has more and more deficits as time goes on. I also have a lot of back and neck pain along with numbness and tingling in my arms in legs. On top of all this, I have had numerous yeast infections.

Celiac disease is caused with all those and is way more common than MS. There are a lot of people who suspect they have MS and find out that it’s really celiac disease. Try a gluten free diet to see if that helps your symptoms. The incidence is about 1 in 133 so it’s very common. Many physicians only look for it if you have diarrhea or weight loss, but that’s really only the tip of the ice berg in terms of symptoms. I have it and I had ataxia (loss of coordination) and the mental decline like you have. There are many people on the celiac message boards who were diagnosed with MS, lupus, chronic fatigue, etc. who find out years later that they didn’t have it at all and had celiac instead. Definitely try it, if for no other reason, to rule out a very common disease.

No, they aren’t connected as far as I know.
No connection
Yes and many MS patients have had yeast infections.
