I came to an MS forum because I disgree with my doctors opinion and wanted advice from other people familiar with the condition. I've had an opinion from several doctors, all with different views. I am getting tired of multiple opinions and I'm not inclined to seek out another. Sometimes it's better to just have it out with one doctor than keep changing every time there's a disagreement.
I am in my 40s and disagree that eight lessions are normal for this age group. I am not aware of any published research to support such a view.

Age can cause brain lesions but I don't know what age is considered "age related." I have read that smoking or being exposed to smoke can cause brain lesions but I don't know what percentage or how common it is. I was raised around smokers and I have never seriously considered smoking as a cause for developing MS (I just don't think it had any bearing in my case).
