Multiple sclerosis/nuerological disorders and shrooms

so my girlfriend has MS and wanted to try shrooms. I looked high and low on here to try and find out if anyone knew of reactions. couldnt find anything so i gave her a small dose less than 1 gram.
immediately her ms started to act up and she was having attacks for much of the time they were taking effect.
she seems to think that the shrooms had nothing to do with it because she has attacks often. she says they just made her more aware of the symptoms so they seemed worse to her. she wants to try taking more now but im afraid to give them to her.
does anyone have a link or any kind of information about this? i dont want to end up having to drive her to the hospital on shrooms.

Shrooms might not be the best idea for your girlfriend. They probably don't have any physiological effects on MS but like you said they will still increase the effects.

MS attacks? People with MS just basically hurt all the time, it can come and go, but it doesn't necessarily come in an attack. I could be wrong, but I only live with a person who has MS. It is my opinion, without any research, that it should be okay for your girlfriend to take shrooms.

well they think she has ms they really dont know but its something neurological. shes numb in certian areas often and she twitches and goes into convulsions/seizures when it gets really bad. it also affects her speech and she will start to studder or sometimes cant talk at all.
what im afraid of is the shrooms causing her to panic if she has and attck while on them and i end up having to take her tot he hospital.
she is really bugging me about taking them again and honestly i kind of just wnt like something to show her to turn her off to them so she wont try them again.
that or prove mewrong so i dont have to worry.

How can they think she has MS?
My mother has MS and they were able to do tests and confirm that she has it in a few weeks. I'm no doctor, but I don't think that sounds like MS. My mother had one major, excruciating attack and was diagnosed and medicated. It's been 6 years or so and she hasn't had another attack yet. She still experiences the regular symptoms, but her condition isn't severe at all.
I'm interested in this topic though because I would like to do shrooms with my mother and I wonder if there would be any adverse effects from her condition. We smoke weed together and have a very close relationship, so I'm certain that I could get her to try them.

Ms is kinda a copout diagnoses. If they aren't really sure then they say ohh well it must be MS. I believe you have to get a spinal tap to be 100% sure. I have a friend who just got diagnosed and they had to take a spinal tap to make sure but idk if there are other options.

well apparently a couple years ago she was playing pool and passed out right there on the table and had to spend three weeks in the hospital. during those three weeks she was seen by 6 different doctors and none of them could come up with a diagnosis.
apparently the signs that they look for on MRI's and whatever other tests they ran didn't show anything leading to MS, but the doctors said its something nuerological possibly MS.
It would be nice if we knew so we could get her on some medication to slow the progression of whatever she has...but she doesnt have insurance now so its really not an option. recently her speech has gotten worse and when she called the doc about it he said that what she was describing didn't sound right and to come in for tests.(possibly brain cancer)...but again were waiting untill January so she has insurance.
I kind of understand her pain as i was just recently diagnosed with a rare rhuematic condition and it took months to get a dianosis. had to disregard cop-out diagnosis from 3 different docs before i saw the right one. if theres one thing docs will never do its admit they dont know or are wrong about something. fortionately for me I have insurance, though.
anyways i can see that some others are interested as well. if i find any links to information i will post them on here.
