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.
I shouldn't have said caused by. Linked to MS, would have been better.

Thanks Nat and thanks, Kelly for the H6 link...very interesting.
