Why Do I Have MS?

Why do I have MS? Let me count the ways:

Childhood lack of vitamin D. CHECK I grew up in Indiana, hated the sun, never drank milk.

Childhood viruses. CHECK Had high temp around age 4, still remember the hallucination I had.
Mono. CHECK Doctor said I had that when I was about 7; all I wanted to do -sleep.
Measles. CHECK
Childhood bacteria. CHECK Had cat scratches galore, lots of fleas in house. Had bum-dog.
Head Trauma. CHECK Age 10, pick-up hit me.

I pretty much was a walking MS bomb, just needed that trigger. Genes? Nope, can't find any relative with MS. Here Trigger! Here Trigger! Where arrrrre you?
