My sister-in law was diagnosed with MS a few months ago. She is 46 years old and has had symptoms for five or six years. A brain scan idicated 9 or 10 areas of her brain that were involved.

In the last year she has increased her alcohol consumption from one or two glasses in the evening to more than a bottle of wine each evening. Additionally, she sits outside in all weather drinking until very late sometimes falling asleep in her chair.
Her personal habits have also declined. She sometimes goes foe a week withing bathing and if very defensive when reminded.
Other than depression do you think there is something else going on here that needs to be addressed.
Thanks.
