I am sorry you have MS. That is terrible. I know someone who has researched it a bunch and found answers in strict dietary mods. I could PM you as we are obviously off topic now.
BTW I was dx'd with Lyme disease and have symptoms that overlap with MS. Some even theorize the former causes the latter.

I understand that the OP doesn't want her MI compared to a physical illness. Not that to me the point is we see a doctor if physically ill, why not when emotionally unwell.
Sorry about your Lyme Disease. Yes I've heard the theory about MS. Yet, it's not the sum of the whole as far as an answer. I've had this most of my adult life. So far, so good.
Damaged Myelin Sheath is the end result not the cause. The disease eats the sheath leaving scars. Some could say that the emotional effect from scars and in relapse can be similar to MI. Soooo...it is what it is. For instance if I lack enough sleep I see shadows. Fun ain't it?
