I agree. I had Mono and Chicken Pox between the ages of 18 and 25. I fully believe that is what triggered my MS......but I didn't have full blown sx of MS until 2003 (both legs numb). Some 20 years later. I had mild sx along the way but always brushed them off and they went away. After my episode in 2005 (double vision, vertigo, bells palsy, numbness) I couldn't ignore it any longer. That's when my dx came.

Your question isn't a dumb one. I had tons of questions early on.....and still do! This is a perplexing disease!
