Twin sister and I both diagnosed with MS.
Anonymous52 interesting! I went to a drug co. educational presentation 2 or 3 years ago and the patient speakers they had were 2 of 3 identical triplets. At that time the 3rd did not have MS but the two there had MS, chose to have separate Drs., but ended up responding well to the same medication.
My Dads sister
My mom has Hashimoto's.
I have a brother and 2 cousins. All on my Mother's side of the family.
My sister has fibro but not MS, thankfully.
The percentage chances of one's kids getting MS for kids who have a parent who has MS goes up from the normal percentage of 0.3% to 3% - still a low number (but still too high). I don't follow the numbers too closely but these numbers I last recall. FYI.
I have heard that diabetes is & then is not autoimmune disease I have diabetes type 2 an older brother has type 2. 2 younger sisters have chromes disease. we all have the same father. Sisters have different mother who was bi-polar. Father had diabetes mother had diabetes both passed with complications to diabetes. Different ages & different states.
