I'm starting to suspect a correlation between people who dye their hair and MS patients. Looking at statistics of people who have MS and just myself, maybe there's something going on? When I had my first MRI, my brain lit up like a Christmas tree. I had also dyed my hair A LOT in the few months prior. Between that MRI and the one I had today, I had little to no spots. So, who dyes their hair?

I dye my hair. Have been for 3 years due to grays. I was diagnosed 11 years ago. I don't think there is a link.
