About time!! I worked out years ago that the only 'stand out' (relative to my peers) feature of my medical history was contracting Glandular Fever in my mid teens.

Evidence arising in the literature supports my contention that the M.S. which afflicted me from 1985 (undiagnosed until 1992) was associated with my history of Glandular Fever.

A vaccine cannot save me now (23 years of M.S. has already irreversibly robbed me of my career and functionality since 1999) but medical researchers should actively pursue an Epstein Barr (Glandular Fever) vaccine to prevent thousands of potential victims contracting this diabolic disease which is hypothesized to be the precursor to several autoimmune conditions (M.S., Chronic Fatigue, Lupus etc.).
