In 2006, I had a MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccination about two weeks before I had my first big sensory symptom. My hip went numb. About five months later I developed optic neuritis.
Until I got optic neuritis, I had no idea that it was MS. I'd been told the numb hip was a sprain by a PA, who told me to put heat on it...and she basically yelled at me when I told her that heat made it worse. (accused me of faking it) 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.

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: http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/...OE74071310.pdf Quote:

I mentioned the MMR and the numb hip to the doctors that I saw back then. They ignored it.

No problems here and after diagnosis I had the rabies and hepatitis B series without any change in MS stuff.

Like my evil twin Kitty, I had a bad case of Mono at 20.
I also had Strep throat at 19. I feel that both may have triggered MS.

I had Scarlett Fever when I was 5. I remember my Mom telling me about it. Is it called something else today or is it not around anymore?

In 94-95 my 2-3 year old son had Scarlett fever. Is it Strep related? Didn't know it was that until they told me. He went through it fine, seemed mild.
