that if you continued to work long hours under stressful conditions you were opening yourself up to an autoimmune disease? I had two tell me this about five years ago and I didn't listen. Then a year ago...MS.
Just curious if anyone else had this experience. Wish I'd listened to them!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
So there goes that theory
and lack of sun from being inside all day kick it in.
I think stress,lack of Vitamin D and genes make it up?
Who knows if there's a Thing to Say that shows it. If we all compared notes we'd find similarities, but then could find people who did or had the same background who are FINE.
I was born with SBO, that could be my predisposition to MS. I know I've suffered DX since the 70s, had a real mystery attack in 1981 (which I know WAS classic MS), and lots of now-easily-noticed as MS events through the 80s, 10 attacks in 11 years all clearly MS.
But before the DX, NOBODY ever put it all together. Well, a friend did, back in 1998 when I told him there's no way I have MS and to never bring it up again.
In 2002 when it couldn't be ignored, he reminded me of his words. But I got 4 more years without knowing out of it, I think that worked out in my favor; although I did suffer permanent damage in the 2002 attack.
Can't cry over spilt milk though. And you can't TELL anyone what you see, either. I think my daughter is presenting some SX and I was crucified when I mentioned them. It's Probably a factor in why I'm no longer with my family !
And as for your daughter your family should listen. Who better than you to see things. I don't understand family sometimes. I appreciate your comments on here. Thanks.
The first time she said something and I made a comment I was pretty much not [wanted to be] heard
I'm guessing lots work to that state of tiredness and don't get MS. I'm sure I couldn't have given my family the life they got and I'm sure others did that well without getting MS. So, I guess I can blame my MS on my hard work but have to credit my hours for good things too.
I guess if I knew the work would have brought on my MS, I wouldn't have done it but nobody told me and we can't tell anybody the same for sure.

No one in my family has MS. I don't know anyone who has it.
