[serenity402]

Does anyone know if there are people who have dercums disease as well as ms? my lumps on my body are painful and sound like dercums bt i dnt want to be the one who has more than 1 weird condition.

I'm researching this myself.  There is a doctor in CA that specializes in this.  I found her name on the internet.  I'm wondering if I too have issues.  I have about 6 lipomas and some internal on the organ type tumors in addition.  I don't know why I'm getting these and I've been trying to lose weight and it's not happening.  I think weight gain goes along with this.  

I don't know if I have MS or not.  What I have been diagnsoised with is POTS.

I have painful lumps, but mine are ganglion cysts - caused because of constant muscle tightness in my forearms.
