An MS weekend


On Saturday 17th of September I went with a friend to the MS weekend which they held at the Excelcentre in East London, We went to the first talk. I had felt as I had lived on a farm in Wales and had treated the sheep with Sheep dip and was using Organophosphates and felt that this had been the thing that triggered the MS.
I spoke to a Professor that was speaking at the conference that I felt was the start of the condition. He felt that it wasn't proven that there was no proof that there was a link, Many people suffering from this would strongly disagree. There are many farmers who have committed suicide because their means of living had gone.
I was invited by Andy Burnham and another lady member of Parliament who were very concerned for the farmers and felt the Government should recognise there is a link. What has to happen before someone starts to eat away the government's insistence that all these symptoms are in our mind?
Thirty years ago this started, how can those few farmers get recognition this has happened to them.
It has ruined so many lives why hasn't this been proved?
