I had Gestational diabetes, but nothing else.  Althought I did have chronic ear infections as a young child!

I did not have any autoimmunine "diseases" pre-op, environmental allergies up to the roof though. Post op (the second time around) they are looking at Chronic Fatigue/Fibormylagia as a possiblity but haven't said "yes/no" yet to that.

Sally,
I am also MS and Chronic Fatigue.  What a combination!  I lose mobility and have problems swallowing that they have know decided are partially nerve damage during AN surgery and partially MS.  I should be very skinny but I went to the Build a Bear Factory and they over stuffed me.  Everytime I go back they think I mean more fluff instead of defluff and since I can't hear in loud environments I agree to what they are saying and come out very fluffy!
