They're not sure if they're related. The stroke hasn't recurred, so it's hard to tell. The stroke is what led to them finding the MS, so it was a good thing, in the long run.
One of the drugs I take went from $50/vial to $28,000 a vial, unfortunately:

THE doctor was dumbfounded: a drug that used to cost $50 was now selling for $28,000 for a 5-milliliter vial.

So, basically I get it only when I really need it ... and the doctor cuts me a slight deal on it.
I have what's called relapsing/remitting MS, which means it'll come on like a motherfucker all of the sudden, then go away. Over $80,000 spent in medical bills from this year alone, not counting medications ... it's staggering what it costs to treat it. That was the most surprising thing to find out.
