Re: Poss chemical connection

[Guest guest]

My guess is a predisposition to MS and chemicals may be a very bad combo. I live in W TX where crops are defoliated every year. Crop dusting planes zoom down and chemicals fall on anything in their path. That includes houses, cars, animals, people... Also the wind causes drift. (If this can kill out Boll Weavils that have survived for years in cotton bolls and under shingles on roofs???) There are high rates of MS in this area. I think it depends on the individual as to what level of progression. Also, it may take years before the symptoms manifest into something noticeable. Usually does. I still stand by the emotional theory as far as severally progressed forms go. Chemicals in addition to this is real bad, I think.

Russ, I remember the smell of paint thinner well But from only a semester at college in the seventies. I spend more time with: drawing, water colors, sculpting, jewery making, I love acrylic painting and make pottery. I have spent a great deal of time instructing in sheltered work shops around people with various disabilities. I see no link.

There is also no family history of MS ever. I remain puzzeled! Have a great day and God bless you and your. CU Joanne L.
