I find myself saying this often on the forum but I had a 9-10 month case of bad mono as an adult. I had my first MS symptom ever (optic neuritis) about 6 months later. I'm convinced the mono (Epstein barr) triggered the whole cascade.

....... HHV-6 can also cause encephalitis, leading to coma and brain damage, even in the absence of any other more typical findings of infection, including fever. Studies show that this virus frequently can be found in the spinal fluid of patients with roseola, febrile seizures or encephalitis, including individuals who have no signs or symptoms of brain infection. Often, HHV-6 can be detected in the spinal fluid years after the initial infection, which has caused speculation that a number of neurologic disorders may be due to HHV-6, including many cases of encephalitis and multiple sclerosis.
