SE Michigan. Was upriver from everywhere until '99 (when I was 24). Then, moved downriver from 'Chemical Valley' and next to a coal power plant. Symptoms started in 2000, diagnosed in 2001, and moved out of there in 2010. Still progressing with new symptoms.
I want my invisible disease to become invisible again.
Toledo, Ohio until 16 and then to Atlanta, Georgia until 2 years ago and now I'm in Alabama wishing daily that I were somewhere else. Alaska might be nice.

Thrown from the top of the waterfall, well I'm drowning in piranhas in the river...man, what a drag!

But I lived all over the world as a child. Personally I think my MS is related to all the vaccines I had. My brother also has MS.

Lived in Southern California until moving to Utah at age 13. Have since lived anywhere from Colorado, Hawaii, Wyoming, Texas, and now Virginia. Had mild, still unconnected sx everywhere, until we moved to Virginia, then got hit with a Mack truck. The winters in particular are brutal on my body.
I do better in a warm, mild climate....just can't get over-heated.
Born & raised in Indiana. Moved at 15 to newport news VA, then kind of all over, military related, 6 other states. Back to Indiana for awhile. Now I live in W. TN., moved because the winters in IN were just to much. The colder it got, the stiffer & more painful, I got!
Once we moved, less stressful situations, I went into remission and stayed there for a long time! The neuro here even tried to undiagnose me, but does know better now. Just took forever for hippa laws and all for paperwork to tranfer!
This may be a bunch of bahooy, but I read articals years ago about some who get MS, can come from ancetry, i.e. Family from Northern countries, where climate is much colder. Then as the years go by, genes are passed down, and its something people would have to trace on their own.
From old family pictures that I have, many of my ancentors are in wheelchairs, young & old. What from, I have no idea. At this point, even doubt if I could find out.
