ule out misaligned Atlas and Candida as both can be caused by stress, and then they wouldn't have a problem

Post Trauma - MS trigger
Just reading Little Red's post made me think about what someone mentioned to me the other day.
Reading some of the replies there seems to be a number of us who experienced some kind of trauma before the MS. So just thinking out loud, I thought I might ask the question and start it off.
In August 2011 I had a total thyroidactomy and right side parotidectomy, along time on the surgeons table I can tell you. April 2013 I started to show signs of what I now know where early indications of MS. It was suggested that while dormant the MS maybe triggered by some such traumatic event.
So, as I said, it's just a thought and something to mull over.
Best wishes

Hi Paul

Although I was DX years ago, my problems started 3 months after my Dad died young, so I have often thought I wonder if that was the trigger for me.

Certainly an interesting thought.

I think my first symptoms started after I got pricked with the needle of an HIV + patient at work and ended up on antivirals and an unknown future in 1999.  I had another possible relapse in 2005 after a bout of severe tonsilitis and lost 10kg in 2 weeks.  We had an accident in 2007, car vs bus and since then I deteriorated and in 2012 they discovered my neck was in a mess and I needed surgery to replace a disc and a year later I was dx.  Long history but the extreme fatigue, clumsiness and tingling limbs I just wrote off to hypochondria.  And I was a nurse, but ms as an illness other people got, not me!

My first MS symptoms were after picking up a serious stomach bug in holiday in Portugal, it caused me to haemorrhage.  After several months and months and I wasn't getting any better, I got an MRI of my stomach. This revealed a complex tumour on my ovary, but adhered to my bladder and bowel and my abdominal wall. They couldn't operate straight away, they had to syringe the excess fluid reguarily and wait to get three surgeons together to do the surgery. My MS was getting worse as time was passing.
And so finally after the longest wait my MS had taken a complete hold of me by this time, I was walking with the most extreme difficulty, I had a  radical hysterectomy, lost part of my bowel, was left with chronic pelvic pain due to adhesions.
And finally my MS is living along side a pelvis that doesn't like movement, is in pain all the time, but I've always put off doing anything through the doctors, because neurologists and gynaecologists and cancer specialists don't like working together lol.

Hmmm- as I've mentioned, mine followed after my lymphoma.
will discuss with my neuro when I see him in a few weeks, also seeing the haematologist a day or two before that.
Won't really change the fact that I seem to be lumbered with it, sadly.
As do we all Kev, it's a bit like an extra kick in the ....... After you've already had a fight. Hugs to you my dear,and you all

Although I'd had mild symptoms for years things didn't get bad until I had gall bladder removed.
That doesn't sound like much... but I had been told by a doctor in America (where I was living then) that there was nothing wrong with my gall bladder and the the pain (agony) was wind! They didn't even do an ultra sound.
Back in UK and still putting up with the pain as 'wind' I got obsructional jaundice due to the gall bladder. Was very poorly.
By the time I actually had it removed I was told it was 'chronically diseased but luckily no cancer'.
So yes I think your trauma theory is interesting.
(And shows how awful the American private healthcare system is!).

In the early nineties I left my husband and had a very traumatic divorce. I also turned my car over after swerving to miss another car. It around this time that I got my first MS symptoms, I have always felt that one or both of these events could have been a trigger.

I have MS
Jan I reading this on kindle so missed the after swerving bit and wondered maybe makes easier to work on brakes or fit an exhaust. Hmmmm Don being stupid again. My symptoms started so long ago I can't remember.
