KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Plus EBV is implicated in at least 6-7 other autoimmune diseases now, not to mention various head and neck cancers. Yes to a vaccine. Which I think could even help someone in my situation. 030
KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Doing better than I have since 2018. I’ve thrown everything at it (if scientifically factual!). Having been a research chemist, I have the background to deep dive. symptoms of MS are often caused by other things and too often, symptoms get swept under the MS rug when they are treatable/manageable. 000
KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Looks like the adolescent risk is higher than childhood infection, but the risk is significantly increased for both. Mono (from EBV) as a young adult shows an insignificant increase. So childhood exposure still not the best plan. I ended up with MS despite that. 🤷♀️ 110
KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 10/05/2025I had early exposure. But I also had a career that caused solvent bioaccumulation so perhaps the triggers add up. Every Covid infection triggered an EBV reactivation except for my last - given remdesivir. I just got better from Covid for the first time. Without prophylactic VCV, MS progresses. 🙃 120
KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Supposedly it’s having an EBV-caused infection in childhood or adolescence vs older. I never *had* mono but had older siblings so likely had it under age 6 when it was simply a random childhood fever illness. 2018 testing showed both historical and current ab. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govAssociation of Infectious Mononucleosis in Childhood and Adolescence With Risk for a Subsequent Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis Among SiblingsIs diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis (IM) in childhood or adolescence associated with subsequent development of multiple sclerosis (MS)?

KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 05/05/2025There is no effective way to fight the a anti-vax narrative. I know many folks. Public health training would do nothing. They should all watch the Pitt. Which wouldn’t really help all of them if the parents respond like the pair in Texas. 130

KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 02/05/2025What @italoromeno.bsky.social said lol. I can’t say outright it treats MS. It treats the thing I don’t know I had when progressing without lesions in 2018. I showed an immune system actively responding to EBV - zero EBV symptoms, all MS progression (supposedly). Valayclovir turned me around. 000
KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Many people I know can’t get vaxxed now (no live vaccines on MS medications for instance).

KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Perhaps use of #amantadine could be replaced by an another repurposed #antiviral #valacyclovir - which almost completely resolves my fatigue and balance issues AND keeps me from escalating to “progression”.

KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Makes sense to me. Issues started at almost 49 and first neurologist told me I was “too old” to get diagnosed with MS. 🙃 I’ve been “progressed” twice and I think there is a big role for exhausted immune system - we can’t catch infections because we no longer have typical symptoms. 🤔 000

KStenhouse🇨🇦 @klstenhouse.bsky.social · 28/03/2025This keeps popping up in MS circles as well. “MS is caused by parasites period.” If only it were that easy.
