Location and Multiple Sclerosis

What is the impact of geography on the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis?

The evidence strongly suggests that distance from the equator has a impact on developing multiple sclerosis.  A brief but infromation piece can be found here http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/ms/epidemiology.html#geog.

With the development of the internet and social media it is now easier to get more detail information about the geographical coverage of MS.

Patienttalk.Org is running a research study looking at this in more deatil.  We are running a  poll of our readers to find out where they were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.   It would be great if you could take part.

We do need as many people as possible to take part so it would be great if you could share this poll with anyone you know who has MS.

Thanks for your help in advance.
