I have no way of knowing this is true, it just an opinion that I've been getting from reading about MS and other autoimmune diseases.

I feel the same way.
I keep thinking if we ?ed everyone about there childhood we might start seeing a link. I'm not saying like all the autoimmune diseases would be caused by having just mumps as a child but maybe like having mumps and the measles and chicken pocks, etc.
Maybe we were born with a weak immune system and than after getting out 1st illness our bodies slowly started attacking it's self.
Hay Erin look what I found

I even found this,
"Based on a study by the University of Washington of over 1,400 individuals, it was found that those who drank well water on a regular basis during childhood were 10 times more likely to develop fibromyalgia than those who did not. Since many wells contain environmental toxins such as pesticide run-off, we feel there could be a definite link, especially since fibromyalgia seems to be a central nervous system disease."
and,
"Many viruses have been considered and may play a role in CFS including the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV). Human herpes virus 6 is under investigation."
I feel like there are so many puzzle pieces out there about autoimmune diseases and no one putting them all together.
