I had mono, horribly, at age 19. Probably was my 'trigger' so to speak.

I think I kept myself in 'remission' of sorts for several years by smoking a lot of marijuana. No, I'm not joking about that. I stopped smoking it, about a year later I had my first visible/detectable symptoms of MS.

My neuro suspects I had MS for at least 5 years at my time of diagnosis (age 31).
