This would be a baby's first exposure to environmental toxins and these are lasting ones. Demerol for example is not only toxic but also causes respiration problems or anoxia. This would weaken the brain complexion of an affected baby for life. Has anyone thought to explore this very common scenario? My guess is it's probably suppressed information and difficult to research. An overlooked factor in MS is birth event and drugs given at birth.

My niece who is 28, never had the Ebv or herpes virus, and has primary progressive ms, just diagnosed 4.5 months ago. She has 4 brain lesions and they give her 5 months to live. She's lived all her life in Long Island. Nobody in our family has ever had the disease. Is that a correct prognosis for PPMS? Hi, I just have a question.
