What causes MS? The short answer is: we don't know. However, there is research being undertaken around the world to understand more about the cause of MS. Some of these studies explore whether certain people may be genetic predisposed to MS while others look at environmental factors such as climate.Why not join the discussion and find out what other MSers think?

The root causes of MS?

Been dealing with MS for 3 years now. After some research I realized all modern medicine had to offer was "symptom management". My doctors weren't interested in what was causing my MS or curing it, only providing me with RX drugs to control symptoms. (and keep my drug dependent $$$) So I started res...

Does it cause any harm to do things that make symptoms temporarily worse?

My right leg goes very heavy and mildly numb after I exercise, specifically after using the rowing machine (I imagine other cardio would do it but I only row for cardio) and sometimes if I walk for a long time. I can tolerate the temporary heavy leg but I don't want to be doing any actual damage.....

Has anyone’s doctors tried to find the cause of their MS? I think it’s bazaar that nobody cares what caused this in me, in the first place. No family history.

I just read that Mavenclad can cause cancer or increase risks of getting it. How true is that? My MS doc didn't inform me about it :(

I’m reading the health comments and how is that skunk weed marijuana are supposedly coming from Mexico in every country around the world I don’t believe that Mexico was shipping it to every country around the world is this government I’m just curious cause it seems like that would be a government thing but then why them that would be horribly shameful and how does some countries have it illegal although it’s being shipped in is that fair to punish the people for what they get? I don’t believe it is it should be legal around the world if they’re shipping it around the world shouldn’t it? Especially when it’s a lot of people with health problems using it diabetes, a lot of autoimmune disorders lotta stomach problems and it’s kind of weird how it’s so helpful and yet the government uses it to punish people it makes no sense?

I was doing a lot of research. I read about parasites. Does anyone here think maybe M.S can be caused by a parasite?

Covid vaccine and potential cause of diagnosis?

Please no rude comments this is simply just a thought… I know that MS is considered to be genetic , But thinking back to my family no one in my family has had it (or know they had it) and it got me thinking.. I was extremely healthy up until about 2020 when I got the Covid vaccine (pfizer) due to wo...
