I found out during an MRI that not only do I have an AN, but MS. The MS was DX after a follow-up MRI two months later. I was already scheduled for surgery to remove the AN, but the neurologist put a halt on it with the MS DX. Is there anyone on here who has both also and can give me some advice? I will be having surgery after the MS is 'under control'. Thanks!

I'm sorry I don't have both, buy my mom has MS and I have AN. This leads me to my question for you, Do any other members of your family have MS?
I have 4 people in my family with MS. I am the second person to have a tumor of the nerve.
what symptoms are you having from the MS? Is it relapsing remitting?

I am the only one in my family with MS and with AN. With the MS I was having facial numbness, right hand being 'dumb', and this led to the CT scan and MRI's. A couple months later the entire left side of my body went numb. I have started med's, and now I am worried about the future surgery to remove the AN. The tumor is 15 mm. I do not know how the two are 'reacting' to each other. I am worried that post-surgery reactions may be difficult to determine if it is the MS or if just post-surgery.
