Does anyone know if yeast infections are associated 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.

Yes it could very well be. Here is an article published in November 2008, titled "Is Yeast Infection the Missing Link in Multiple Sclerosis"

Good luck, don’t wait for a singular doctor to help you, keep digging and get opinions, as well as doing your own research. We have to be our own advocate with our health. Don’t give up till you get a satisfactory diagnosis and treatment. All the best!!
Biomedically, there is no *confirmed* association between the two of which I am aware. MS is an autoimmune disease. Yeast infections are a fungal overgrowth.
One of the unconfirmed claims is that MS is caused by Candida, the same fungus that causes yeast infections.
Speaking only for Chinese Medicine, the symptoms described do begin to suggest a certain pattern diagnosis, or part of a pattern diagnosis.
