presents to clinic after experiencing intermittent generalized weakness and blurred vision. She also complains of feeling an “electric shock” down her spine and chronic fatigue. She reports feeling this way for around a year, but it appears to be getting gradually worse over time. All blood tests for M.S. are normal. MRI reveals small plaques throughout brain. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is made. What possible factors might triggers her condition, related to her MS?
