I am curious if anybody else has MS. I have thoughts that it has a lot to do with why I ended up having emergency surgery.

Yes, I have had MS for 29 years. I also just recently, a year ago, got a colostomy bag and osteo. I'm just trying to meet people who are in the same or similar situation, and sometimes this chat seems whack, but I just wanted to respond to your note. Peace, have a good night.

You are so right.  I will never forget this website and the people who have helped me.  I had my reversal in January of 2014.  I try and come on this website weekly to see if I can help or encourage other individuals get through the day-to-day process of life.

Hi Kathy and Karen.  I was diagnosed with MS in ‘06. I have several other immune issues, including RA, CVID, Lupus and asthma. I lived in the Seattle area for over thirty years, and moved to Spokane five years ago. My ileostomy journey began three years ago after a trip to the west side for hand surgery. The day after coming back to Spokane my colon burst, but being on pain meds I wasn’t aware until the following night. I ended up with emergency surgery and the beginning of three months in the hospital. 
I had never had any GI issues before that, except for a couple hernias. I have since had three more hernias related to the ostomy. I had never connected the MS to the ileostomy, nor any of my other health issues. It’s an interesting thought tho.
