MS does not have to be the only health problem that a person has to manage. There may be another disease, in addition to MS, whether before or after the diagnosis of MS. Many people with MS also have common health problems, such as allergies, headache, or more serious illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Some people may also develop more than one “immune” disease. The following points illustrate how a person succeeds in reconciling and managing more than one illness at the same time.

Do not assert that each symptom appears to be related to MS:
When new symptoms emerge it is often attributed to MS, although this is the simplest explanation, except that in situations it may not be true.
If the new symptoms persist, and do not resemble any of the symptoms that you have experienced before it is necessary to consult a neurologist or family doctor and the community of your health. Symptoms may be related to MS. They are either side effects of medications, one of the treatment methods that you receive or a sign of a new health problem.
The best source to determine whether the new symptoms are related to MS or not is the neurologist who is following your condition. If the symptoms are not related to the disease, they will refer you to the family doctor, your community or another field specialist to assess your condition.

Choose the right people in the medical team responsible for your care:
Unless the new problem you are experiencing is related to nerves such as migraine, seizures or stroke, the neurosurgeon you choose to follow up on your condition with MS will not be the best choice to help you manage your new health problem.
In our world today, every disease must be treated by the most appropriate doctor and best training in his specialty. If you are not sure which doctor you should visit, ask your family doctor and health care provider.

Set your priorities:
When you try to manage more than one illness at the same time it is necessary to begin to deal with the problem or disease is the most important and the most serious, for example, when a person with cancer, “a disease that threatens human life” here advances to MS, which is not the degree of damage itself.
The doctors you choose to treat and improve your health need to talk with you and with each other about prioritizing your treatment plan for the diseases you are experiencing.

Make sure that all doctors who are aware of your health are fully aware of all the medicines you receive and the methods you take:
It is important to make your doctors know all the medicines you receive. Every doctor is focused on a specific part of your health that fits his or her specialty.
The information about medicines helps to ensure that medications are not administered to you that contradict each other or are combined together in a way that adversely affects and harms your health. A good way to reduce this is to treat one drugstore as much as you can, A “prescription program” is used in most pharmacies, so that it automatically shows any possible drug interactions.
The same recommendations at the top apply to non-prescription products and the methods of treatment used by you which fall under the name of “alternative medicine”.
In this case, when your health care provider gives you all the information about the medications or the remedies you are taking, they will provide you with the best and safest treatment recommendations.

When coordination between your care is very difficult and complex. ask for help:
When you start feeling that your health care administration is a full-time job or that you no longer have the ability to handle and manage your case from multiple doctors, exams, appointments, prescriptions, and health insurance plans, this may be the right time to look for help from others..
