Amazing how many have MAS. My total admiration in dealing with it all.
Me - only one, but like others, multiple family members with an autoimmune. Celiac's, Chrons, Ulcerative Colitis, Addison's.
My nephew is getting tested for MS at 30. I pray he doesn't have it. He has Meniere's , but they suspect more going on. He is a healthy eater, into rock climbing, marathons, kayaking. He made me cry because he said if he does have it, I showed him you can keep on going and have a great life with it. Really praying it is not MS.

I didn稚 know this was a thing, but I guess I know what I知 reading about tonight since I haven稚 been sleeping great since I stopped working out as much.
But I知 the only one in my family that has anything wrong health wise. I知 definitely the loser in the genetic lottery in my family.

I just have one.
But in my family (2 siblings, 2 adult children, 3 adult nieces and nephews), between the 8 of us, we have 8 autoimmune diseases.
-Two have 2. (4)
- Four have 1. (4)
- Two (the two youngest) have 0, and might develop some. (0)
4+4+0 = 8

I am also blessed with multiple issues;= Multiple Sclerosis, a strange variant of Diabetes, TYPE-1 (1B), and now Addison's.
I have to deal with all of them and more (CK-3, RHD, etc) 24/7.
Go Figure?
Note: I have problems typing n MSworld's editor....

Sorry to learn that you also have several autoimmune diseases to deal with.
Wishing you strength, and hoping you have some long periods of relief from symptoms.

roxy118 - Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and bringing the subject of MAS to our attention. I'm sorry that you have other diseases, besides MS, to deal with.

While I knew the propensity for more or autoimmune disorders to run in families I wasn't aware of MAS. This link is interesting especially because it looks at the heritability factors of some of the different AI conditions.

I don't know anything about MAS, but I do have several autoimmune diseases. I always heard that if you have one you tend to get several of them.
