I suspect these contributing factors:
  1. I grew up in Canada, where the risk of MS is higher, just as it is in northern states, in Scandinavian countries, and in Australia. They suspect a connection with fewer hours of sunlight/vitamin D issues.
  2. Although I am the only one with MS in my family, we have a lot of other auto-immune diseases.
  3. Often times, stress can trigger the onset of MS. I had a lot of physical pain/stress, due to a tooth problem and need for a root canal just days before the onset of my first symptom/flare.
Don't know how I could have changed any of these things.
  • I drank a lot of milk as a kid.
  • Can't control my genes.
  • Tooth problems can happen to anyone.
