What are the odds? If it's not MS, what is it?
Why are you looking for something wrong other than what is diagnosed...depression

MS has not been proven to be hereditary. Even if it was hereditary that does not mean family members will inherit it. Everything about MS is still a therory. It is *thought* that there could be a genetic componet to MS but this has not been proven.

I am the only one on both sides of my family who has MS. There are others where MS does seem to run in their family.

I believe in not looking for something that may not be there.
