Where You Live

Do you think that your environment impacted you getting MS? I live in the US and have been in the same area for my entire life. I've heard many times that, the farther you are from the equator, the higher your chances of getting MS. Do you live far from the equator? Do you think that a lack of Vitamin D caused or pushed your body to react the way it did?

I posted a link to this a few weeks ago when I saw it as I expected the incidence to be clearly higher the further north and lower to the south...yet Florida has 4x more then Minnesota and Wisconsin isn't far behind and that is where I have always lived. The worst states in in the NE (Michigan all the way up through New Hampshire) as well as Alabama (lots of sun!) and Wyoming. Why does this map look way more like a water quality or watershed type of map? https://www.bcbs.com/the-health-of-america/reports/the-health-impact-of-multiple-sclerosis

@itsmewithms Oh wow, that's odd! I'm part of the lucky MI group, I guess. Meh...hopefully more research will have more convincing reasons why people get MS. In the meanwhile, don't drink the water...?! Lol
