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

Neuropathy

So, I’ve tried Cymbalta and Gabapentin… nothing really helping for my numbness/burning/tingling. I know nothing will make it 100% but, looking for some relief. I’m not looking for medical advice, just other medications people have taken to help with these symptoms so I can research them.
