  I think - it is diet!!! forced or voluntary  Refusing food. That turn the trigger to attack myelin - very similar to fat cells. that is evan explain why woman suffer more than man and this illines more affects persons in a richest world parts.....but it is only my opinion from observation!

  I think no-one knows, but there is a connection to clean water sewers. Lyme's disease? Rat urine? Concentrated cosmetic ingredients?
  My suspicion is there.

  i believe stress was the starter and the trigger being adult whooping cough. Since I caught adult whooping cough (despite being immunized as a child) I became susceptible to everything going and have never been right since.

  My MS was diagnosed after I gave birth to my 3 and 1/2 year old breach. And my doctors are saying that is what has caused it. So I believe stress.

  I don't know what causes Multiple Sclerosis and neither does anyone else. Better research is needed. There are so many avenues to research to find the cause and a cure and to repair or reverse the damage.

  I've noticed that all of my relapses & also the initial attack that led to my diagnosis, all occurred during periods of extreme, mentally stressful & emotional periods of time in my life. I firmly believe that these stressful events triggered something in me that caused my ms.

  I think MS is caused by the food we eat. There are so many chemicals and groing hormones put into the food that it is killing us slowly but surely.
