Is there a reason why you didn't include a "NO" option Amy?
I know for sure that I haven't, but you've not given me an option to vote that way. Would you like that added?

I had a pretty serious case of mononucleosis in late '95 and early '96. Took me over a year to recover, started noticing a lot of weird things in '97 that I now know are MS symptoms. Altho, I do remember having something that I now recognize as The Hug back in the early 90s....so I might have already had MS when I had mono...I do think the mono set something off MSwise and must have made the MS Trolls angry, since I've been having stuff going on since about 1997.
Things just never got bad enough to go to a doctor until I had numbness in early 2006 and optic neuritis that summer.

I don't know how to edit the Poll to add a 'no' option?! Any suggestions? It was such an obvious option to miss!

Although there is some presumed link...I don't know how it can be used because almost the entire adult population has the EBV.
Epstein-Barr Syndrome is very common, although most people don’t even know they’ve contracted it. It is estimated that as many as 95 percent of adults older than 35 have been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, making this one of the most common illnesses in developed and undeveloped countries around the world. http://www.life123.com/health/medica...ormation.shtml |

I have no idea...never tested for it. But I thought that 100% of MS patients tested positive for it?
