    I'm 100% sure I have a neck.
    My mom used to threaten to wring it cuz I've always been a stubborn stinker, but I don't think she actually did it.

        I've had a neck injury, but....

        I was in a car accident when I was 15 years old. I had to wear a neck brace for a couple of months.
        It was kind of awful, being 15

        But I would call it a coincidence *shrug*

            Carrots

            It has also been revealed that 100% of individuals with MS have eaten carrots some time in their life.

                    No neck injury here

                    Never had a neck injury. My mom thinks I got MS cause I used to have very high fevers when I was sick when I was little. Anyone else?

                      this is interestingbecause while I have never had not ever had a neck injury, my MS specialist specialist ordered a sonogram of my arteries in my neck, and I have no wonder if there is not something to this. Just saying

                        Could they have been evaluating your potential need for CCSVI?

                          Neck Injury

                          Good Morning Everyone

                          I have had on occasion throughout my wonderful career in nursing had some neck muscle strain,but believe it to be just that...don't believe any connection.
                          Now in saying that I don't have a "at home" laboratory or research team to prove or disprove anything regarding prerequisites to M.S.

                          THANKS palm tree for bringing forward this info for all of us.The one & only thing I know for sure IS....keep a open mind to ANY information that is out there,knowledge is priceless moving forward in this journey....and the disease of many faces is exactly that....what is for one is not for the other.

                          Wishing all of you the very very best day you can have

                            Whoa! Nobody needs CCSVI! That's why millions of dollars were spent investigating it.

                            CCSVI is a theory about venous insufficiency's role in the development of MS and was proven by some very credible researchers to be unfounded. Maybe it should be relegated to history and spoken of only in the past tense.

                            This is not to be mistaken for actual cerebrovascular anomalies that are causing problems and might benefit from intervention, and which is not referred to as CCSVI.

                            Further, the CCSVI theory involves veins. An MS specialist ordering a sonogram of neck arteries would definitely not be looking for CCSVI. (Even a kinked artery would not be CCSVI.) The most likely explanation would be to look for arterial cholesterol plaques that might be impairing blood flow to the brain and could cause a stroke, which is why most people have sonograms of their neck arteries.

                              JMHO,

                              For me, it is interesting and notable when a doctor believes MS may be related to head/neck injury. It is difficult to believe all MS is related to injury but, IMO, there is a great deal of merit in believing some MS is related and perhaps a lot of MS is related if it is considered in the context of how what mechanism is at play with a head/neck to promote the development of MS. That being improper CSF flow.

                              The juncture of the cervical spine to the brain is called the craniocervical junction. The lack of proper CSF flow caused by misalignment of the atlas vertebra through even mild injury can be a contributing factor to MS lesion formation, IMO. Of course, I am not a doctor but I do read what doctors studying the situation write and form an opinion based on what makes sense to me.

                              A couple of sources others may want to check out are listed below

                              The possible role of cranio-cervical trauma and abnormal CSF hydrodynamics in the genesis of multiple sclerosis.
                              http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21970155

                              Also, I would recommend a book titled, “The Craniocervical Syndrome and MRI” for those interested.

                              Personally, I consider CSF flow studies leading edge activity in the study and treatment of MS. And I think that something as simple as the Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic technique would be well worth investigating for many people with MS. I have no financial interest at all in saying that. For chiropractors trained specifically in it, I believe the re-alignment of that top vertebra, the Atlas, may help resolve MS, in some people.

                              The lack of proper flushing by proteins and by-products because of improper CSF flow is a huge, huge, problem in de-myelinating diseases, IMO. And very, very, likely a situation which makes MS worse, IMO.
