I had mono twice in a row when I was in my mid teens (which is rare so I was told). A few short years later my MS reared its ugly head. I also had Rosiola as a young child as well as many years of strep throat and chicken pox when I was a child. I don't know if any of those are related but I tend to think they are.

I also lived on a street in the city nearby that used to be a dump site. I know a lot of other people with MS who lived in that immediate area.
