What Causes Multiple Sclerosis?

I have MS. I cannot use any of the three computers at home as the nerves in my body start to burn and buzz.

Strange as it may seem, I can use my computer in work.

Needless to say this doesn't make much sense. And it didn't to my consultant. Very embarrassing.

Can you help?

that is very strange and interesting. I would start with the ergonomics of each computer as ms symptoms are related to temperature and position. as I'm sure you've noticed cooler temperatures will help your symptoms. the other aspects to check would be the back support and height of the arm rests, monitor, and keyboard. most ms symptoms come from the cervical spine
which controls limb position so changes in body positions might affect you. hope that helped
