There are generally five factors that are considered necessary to
bring on MS according to several of the books that my wife has given
me to read.  I know that generally its also when you live in the more
northern regions of the earth but generally a traumatic event is
listed as one of the five.  I can't remember all of the other required
things but stress is definitely listed.

Have them give you an magnetic resonance imagining better known as the
MRI that is generally considered now to be pretty much of a definitive
test.
