Okay, so I’ve definitely chosen not to take the medication. My next move in this game plan is to look back into my past and see what, if anything, could have been a sign of things to come. I wondered if events in my past mattered at all in contributing to my MS. Certain cancers and other diseases have no particular link, maybe mine didn’t either.

I can remember a brief period in my life when I got dizzy and passed out. My first episode occurred in college. That continued on and off for a few years and suddenly stopped altogether. I wonder if this has any connection to having MS. I remember always being very hot - my body temperature would rise quickly and I’d be beet red and sweaty, especially during and after exercise. I was one of those people who always was more comfortable wearing less clothing and being barefoot, no matter what the weather. I wondered if that had any connection to MS. I have always had poor circulation in my legs. Did that have any connection to MS? I had mononucleosis as a teen. Any connection there? I had a benign tumor removed from my left leg (hamstring area) last year. Connection?

I was delving into my past to try and find some kind of answer. I have actually been, in my opinion, pretty healthy all my life. Or so I thought. I have always been active. I exercise six days a week. I practice karate. I practice yoga. I eat clean and healthy 80% of the time. I take vitamins and supplements. I don’t smoke. I drink on social occasions. Looking into my past, I guess I am desperate to be able to put my finger on something and say “Aha…that is when/how/where I could have gotten MS.” But I am still at a loss. Maybe it’s just one of those things and there’s no connection whatsoever.
