Both of my parents have passed away, or else I could participate in the genetic study. I have a strong suspicion my Mom had MS. She had a lot of the classic symptoms of what would have been fairly mild MS. She finally had foot drop that got worse over her last two decades of life.

She had falls, problems with speech, fatigue and hand strength among other things.

My half niece (from my Dad) has MS, a really bad case.

I hope and pray our sons don't get it but if they do, that it will be mild and they'll have good medicines to treat it.
