Hi @hass, thanks for sharing this with us and sorry to hear about your pain.

Unfortunately I don't think you'll find the answers you're looking for here on the community, as we're not medical professionals and cannot give this kind of information. However, I wonder if you've considered seeing another GP for a second opinion?

Thank you for responding 
 I will give it a go

Back in 1994 an international symprosium changed the name from dyspraxia to Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) which is how dyspraxia is now referred to in terms of international research.

Some of the international research has identified a commoon comorbidity with both ADHD,, especially the  ADD type, and Sensory Processing Disorders.

Thank you I'm still waiting for gp  to refer  me to a neurologist  she said it costs to much money

The leading UK researcher regarding DCD is Prof. Amanda Kirby, who you may be able to follow on Twitter where she post information about DCD and related issues

Hi Hass, I have MS but haven't heard of it having a connection with dyspraxia.

I`ll ask the question on MS forum today and let you know what replies I get.

Hi hass, I got 2 replies from my MS group.. Both said they hadn't heard of a link between dyspraxia and MS.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.x

Adhd, dyspraxia and  dyslexia share features in common and arise from processing difficulties in the same area of the brain as far as i understand.

MS is of an entirely seperate cause.
