Thought my program that enables me to access medicinal supplements etc.; went under the DOG knife; and attempted to wrangle it to be taken off my rent instead. . . . was all for naught. But that wasn't bad. . . I am thankful they are still there. Just couldn't get in touch with anyone for over a month and panic stepped in! But God had me covered. It just sparked an eating binge so now I need to shed at least 15+!! Lord help me. . . . sugar cravings are going through the roof!! That's my sweetie in the chair. Friends took us to a nice restaurant to celebrate memorial day. It was beautiful.

I was the only premie in my family and the only one with MS.

Thank you for answering Doc, but from one scientific mind to another, not thinking is easier said than done, esp. w/my brain . I think I have ADHD and not related to MS-thoughts swirl and loop in my head a lot for as long as I can remember. Plus, I get overwhelmed (used to not be like this until around 2003 when I had my first"panic attack", likely first MS hug experience) sometimes but thankfully, one family member is helping out more so I haven't felt this way since around Thanksgiving.

Don't bother thinking about what causes MS, and it has been looked at extensively. The best evidence is EBV which came out of military studies, but even that is not 100%, It is likely there are many causes and what might trigger it in one person might not trigger it in another. There have been extensive twin studies, same genetics and same birth time, and one twin gets MS and the other doesn't. I myself have theorized many theories (as a scientist) and likely will never know what triggered this, it doesn't run in my family, grew up around mining, was in the military, 14 of my HS classmates have been diagnosed, No way to determine my specific event that caused MY MS so just a waste of brain power to never get an answer.

I don't believe it matters, they haven't figured out what causes MS yet and I was normal weight at birth.
