Brain injury doubles MS risk

If it's on your mind and it has to do with multiple sclerosis in any way, post it here.

I wonder if the issue could be neurotransmitter disruption, like dopamine. Or, could it be damage to a part of the brain that regulates body functions. I think if it were only traumatic injury, then we would not see the vast differences in MS rates. I've never had brain injury, but was in a non-injury car accident a few weeks before my first symptom.

Yes I had two neck's trauma that could be related with MS. One was a car stroke with apparently no more consequences and the other one 3 months before my first and greatest crisis, practising judo.
