Ackkk!!! I ALWAYS worry about this!! DS35 has "thinning retinas"...makes me worry, since I read something that states that this is a sign of MS.

So, do we make our children worry? Or listen to them, chart in our minds their sxs and make suggestions when it seems apparent that they should see a neuro?

That is the $64K question...

I try really hard not to act alarmed when he asks me about certain things....like the day he described the feeling of something wet on his lower leg. It's a familiar feeling to me when I'm in a flare. I know there are other reasons for it but the "Mom" in me always thinks the worst!

In our family we have an over abundance of auto immune disorders. I guess MS is the one I got, plus psoriasis. I do think that the tendency to have an illness can be in a family but who knows how far back it goes.
