We come from a large family with different auto immune disorders. I think all of the women from my Mom on down. So I know it is from the maternal side. Mom, her 2 daughters and all of the daughters female children.

Yes, I think that it isn't always, but can be hereditary. So sorry to
hear of your Sons DX. My DD was DX at 31. she is now 43 and
in remission, for now.

Bless you Mom, I know how you feel..

I have MS and ITP, my sister and her daughter have Lupus - no evidence so far of MS in my children (and praying like mad there won't be).

Reports from researchers show more and more genes that are a part of this illness...now if they can find out the trigger, we can prevent our offspring from this journey...

When I was diagnosed I was also told 2 things: MS doesn't cause pain and doesn't affect cognition.

Default Hi Karen
My cousin has MS. Her mothers sister had MS,as well as my cousins mothers, or her grandma had it too. She participated in a study in Boston. It is unusual for three family members to have MS. There didn't seem to be any other auto immune problems. ginnie
