Please Read Interview For School Posted: 11-06-06 19:13pm
Hi
for my school I have to write a paper
about mulitple sclerosis. It is mainly
on the causes and effects of multiple
sclerosis based on geographical location.
For the paper I have to have an
interview, if anyone wants to answer my
questions please do but I need name and
info for my works cited.
Do you think that the development of
multiple sclerosis could be
primarily based on geographical
location?
Can you explain in your own words what
multiple sclerosis is?
Some of the effects multiple sclerosis
has on the human body?
Thank you

Hi,
sure, i'll answer.. I have a soft spot
for students.
Do you think that the development of
multiple sclerosis could be
primarily based on geographical location?
No. In my opinion it's partly genetic and
partly biochemical. I am in morocco, and
I am sure that this would have happened to
me anywhere. Though I should have quit
smoking sooner.
Can you explain in your own words what
multiple sclerosis is?
I have spots on my brain, visible in a
mri. These are caused by my immune system
getting turned in the wrong direction and
attacking the myelin protecting the cells
of my brain.
Some of the effects multiple sclerosis has
on the human body?
I am dizzy and tired constantly (i mean
from the moment I open my eyes), I have
some trouble walking, and occasionally I
can't speak for moments.

I do believe that it has something to do
with where you were raised. It can also
be a virus that you had. Or vaccines that
you had to get for one reason or the
other. There are many reasons. It can
run in families. But that is rare. I
have a distant relative that has it. I
got ms, later in life. I am almost 58
and got it in 2000. Good luck with your
paper.
