Erin54: I'm sorry to hear that. I developed transverse myelitis after MMR vaccination when I was 12. Not sure how similar transverse myelitis is to MS.
What did the doctors say about the vaccination? Do they think it could have caused your MS? Here is a court case about MS after MMR vaccination (the petitioner won) if you are interested:

After I got ON, a neuro told me that the numb hip was Meralgia Paresthetica...and about 3 or 4 months after that I was diagnosed with MS.
