I think what keeps comming to my mind is how many times it has seemed that folks who have a major ordeal in thier life.....either very stressful (divorce, death, los of job...so on) or who have had a major medical problem, (sugery or accident so on) seem to have an exacerbation closley following.
If you didnt know you had MS and went through an ordeal and it made the MS flare up it would seem it was just from the ordeal.
Wow that doesnt make much sence to me when I read it back to myself lol....
Good luck and maybe you should look back over the years and figure how often your strange SX came about after a major ordeal in your life!
