I had my tonsils out at age 2 age 5 my appendixs, from age 20 and on to age 35 I had 5 operations for female problems when at age 35 had a complete hysterectomy. Symptoms of MS started in my low teens, but was always told they were growing pains.
At age 41 I was given the final word that I had MS and that all the years before I was having problems was probably the MS.
In those early days they didn't know what MS was. I am 70 now.
