I have discovered craigslist website. It is so neat. If you haven't been on it, I suggest you check it out. I have been posting items for sale trying to make some extra money to pay for my doctor bills from my pacemaker surgery. I can't handle a garage sale so this is the place for me. I made $65.00 in 2 days. WOOHOO

Anyway, this post is about a young man (30ish) who came over yesterday to buy some of my classic rock albums. Really nice guy and we were chatting and when I told him I had MS, he said 2 of his friends had just been diagnosed recently. He said they were on Refib and doing ok so far. He said that they had a dog that had distemper and the doctor thinks that is what caused them to get MS.

They are a married couple and I was shocked when he said that. I have never heard of that theory. Pretty freaky thinking a married couple got it at the same time. I googled it and found some articles but it's all guess work. This was just plain weird.

I told him to give them my email address so we could chat. I hope I hear from them because this just flipped me out.

When I was about 5, we had a collie that had distemper. I don't remember much about her since I was so young but she bit my Dad after she first developed it and had to be put to sleep. There was nothing they could do for her and my Dad had to be on medication for a long time to clear the infection from her bite.

Another strange story about MS.
