Which risk factors for MS apply to you?

[doublevision1]

These are some of the main risk factors I come across again and again in the literature.  Some are well established, other theorized. Please check all that apply to you.

I didn't have enough options to add an "Other" category, so if you have any risk factors not listed here, please tell us what they are.

lots of new members since this thread was started; if you haven't answered yet, please let us know what ALL your risk factors are as per above.  I'll tally this up manually as the poll function only allows for one answer.

There is also some data suggesting that a birth month in the late spring (say March thru June) is a risk factor.
