A aha moment

So I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, March 2019 and when I go to the doctor my blood, sugar, oxygen etc is always good. So I wonder if I’m healthy how can I have multiple sclerosis. I remember a neruo doctor asking me if I smoked cigarettes when I was young 🫤. I also learned multiple sclerosis can be caused by environmental conditions and now I realize as a child I was around cigarettes smokers all my life. My father who raised me died from lung cancer and I have multiple sclerosis. 1+1=2 it all make sense now. I’m just glad I know now

They told me smoking was bad as it helps the ms fuck you up more but don’t think it’s what causes it. Tho I grew up with a dad that smoked and started myself at a young age so maybe yout into something lol
