Just wondering

[diguilio]

Hi.....just wondering if anyone in your family has MS?

[Mørphi]

Hi

My biological mother, her sister and their mother all have MS

[Special Kay]

No. One (now deceased) relative had psoriasis, but other than that no autoimmune disorders at all.

I am the only one in my extended family. My parents (ages 92 and 91) say there hasn't been anyone having MS through their ancestry.

How about you, diguilio? Are you the only one too?

[grammy2many]

Inherited??

No MS diagnoses, but other autoimmune. Mom had severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and my sister has Hashimoto's Disease and possible R/A. I do believe there is a hereditary aspect so I pray for my kids to be spared.

YES, MY BROTHER HAS MS ALSO.....

[hunterd]

no one but myself has MS in my family. There are other members of my family that have raynaudes disease, and that is autoimmune. I have MS, diabetes, and raynaudes. I must be the lucky one

I'm the only one that I know of. I also have psoriasis, several family members have it. I had a severe case of blood clotting to the degree the veins had dried out in my leg. If I don't take my blood thinners I get clots. They suspect I have raynauds in my legs.

My Sister and I both have it. Diagnosed 20 years apart! The only other notable autoimmune was my Grandmother - she had rhumatoid arthritis and Parkinson's disease.

Aside from some distant cousin that I've never even met, I'm the only one in my family that has MS.

[misslux]

No, I am the only one. No other health issues in my family at all.

[MSwhileOverseas]

My mom has RA and my grandma has fibro but I am the first in a huge extended family to have MS and I hope and pray I am the last!

[KateM]

Yes

I was diagnosed in 2005. My second cousin in 2008'ish? And my younger sister in 2011. I'm currently on Avonex and LDN (Previously copaxone and Rebif). My cousin is on Gilenya. My sister is on Tysabri.

[pennstater]

No other MS, but we have wondered if my mother may have had mild form, few weird symptoms that disappeared but no permanent damage. Other than that, lots of autoimmune in immediate and extended family.

I have a first cousin with MS. Something strange though is the woman that lived in my house before me had it as well as my next for neighbor and the neighbor across the street. Don't know if that means anything but weird.
