Our MS posters have discussed low copper in MS on that forum at times.
I did a search using Keywords "copper multiple sclerosis", and found this:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1083158/
1982 paper.
and this:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2545071
The connection appears to be inflammation. Many of our MS posters have been already screened for low copper.
There are some interesting papers on "marginal copper deficiency" on the net as well.
My handy favorite reference is Drug Induced Nutrient Depletions, by Ross Pelton and James LaValle...
They state that severe copper deficiency is rare, but marginal low levels are common, and that people do not consume foods to provide copper. They state on pg. 322 that most US people get about 1/2 the copper RDA. (if they take a multivitamin that would help I would think. ) Centrum Silver for example has .5mg of copper per tablet.
Linus Pauling Institute has good reference material on most nutrients including a bibliography:
