I got mono as a teen at my orthodontist office along with 45 other children. I have heard that mono / Epstein Bar contributes and possibly is a key factor as to a cause. So I was curious as to how many people with MS also had Mono.

No, nothing at all. However, they have stated that woman, European descent, living in upper US are more likely to end up with MS. Now, that I fits me to a T. Good luck with your study-interesting concept.

I had Bells Palsy about 30 years ago and have heard that might also be a trigger? Has anyone heard of either of these being involved?

I had mono when I was a senior in high school (17yrs old)and again when I was a freshman in college (18yrs old).

I never had mono although both my siblings did. When going through my MS dx process, there was an Epstein Barr Marker found in my blood. I always suffered from chronic fatigue and always took naps as a child and teen. Fatigue is my biggest issue and it makes me wonder if I just have chronic mono. LOL
