How many people know that chronic Mercury poisoning cause many disease including Multiple Sclerosis? Do you know Dental Amalgam have 50% Mercury and non-stop leaking Mercury vapor? Do you know Sweden have banned the use of Dental Amalgam in their country already?

Also, how many people know that too many vaccine contain Thimerosal (A Mercury compound) as a preservative?

Avoid any Mercury intake, eliminate Mercury from your body and get well.

Age 18...First symptom was cloudy/blurry vision in my left eye.. Used to mumble when I talked. Not sure exactly how far apart but second attack, I was paralyzed on my right side of my body along with the left eye blindness.. Being hospital bound for about a month, I was given a spinal tap. Using a walker to get around and physical therapy, I gradually learned to walk on my own again. (it was the best feeling, ever) Although I get emotional when talking about my MS, I feel better when I do.

@Mojosfire I dont have MS in my family, I am the first

MS is such a horrible disease, I've watched my dad suffer with it for almost 20 years now, and I know how sad of a disease is.. I donate frequently to the MS Society and continue to pray for a cure, too.. I'll never give up until my father and the millions of other patients in the world are cured!

Can someone who knows a lot about MS email me. I'm having multiple symptoms, but I can't seem to find out what's wrong with me. My doctor said he wants to test me for MS. I don't know if we even have MS in the family, I don't think we do. My Aunt had Lupus, my grandmother had RA, and my cousin of 26 died of an AI disease, but not one I had heard of. I just seem to keep getting more and more symptoms, and no answers. I'm so frustrated!

Can stress induce what I called "attacks"? First time (age 20), was blurred vision. Second time (8 mo later) was blurred vision but also, couldn't walk - legs fell out from under me. Third (age 22), all of that but extreme vertigo (couldn't open eyes without room spinning) and in ability to reach out and grab things appropriately (6 mo later). I lost my job, couldn't drive. So, I moved to my parents, but it hasn't happened since (2 yrs ago). What is all this? Is this MS or just stress?
