Interesting article. Me and my 3 siblings had glandular fever. My eldest sister had it so bad she ended up in hospital they thought she had diphtheria. My younger sister had it for 6 months and was really ill. My brother had it for a month and I had it for 2 weeks and fought it off quickly, yet I get the ms. My daughter was off school for a whole year with it, and now my concerns are that she is showing many of the signs I showed, now she is in her thirties. Thank you hope the painting is going well. 😊

since i was 8 i suffered from heat intolerance, though we didn't know that's what it's called. however, i got really sick from 13-14 years; i missed nearly the whole school term. the following year, i started having weird problems with my right leg and to this day, my right side is worse than my left.

i'd not thought of the whole sibling connection, though my sister and i are completely different. she is very healthy and almost never sick (even with flu or colds) while even before my teen years i used to come down with a cold every 2-3 weeks. i was always sick. which suggests my immune system was always different.

i'm glad they're researching this, especially the sibling evidence. fingers' crossed they're closer to finding what causes ms. even though i hail from limboland, i've learned a lot about autoimmune diseases, especially ms and ms-adjacent diseases. this article gives me hope.

thank you for sharing!

I was about that age and very sick with secondary infections by the time I was taken to the MD. I have vivid memories of the painful swollen glands from neck to knees. I have wondered if later childhood infections will arise from the pandemic.

I read a similar article just recently. We always hope that they are getting closer to figuring it out. I'm a little torn about this because my son had mono when he was around 11 1/2 years old. So with the genetic part and me having the MS I don't want it to be true because I don't want him to have a higher chance of getting this horrible disease.

I missed a lot of high school with mono. Then had viral meningitis in 1989, right when my ms symptoms really started. Doctors always look at that time as significant for my health history and possible ms relativity. Very interesting article, thank you.
