Hello everyone,

As the title says, does/did someone else in your family have MS? You're more likely to develop MS if another family member has it, though the disease isn't solely genetic.

Please share :)

@Kencomax @Felix7 @Yank34 @Belindabee‍ Thank you all for sharing, it is interesting to see people's different experiences and history with MS.

@pavo123 Does anyone else in your family have/had MS?

What about you? Are you the only family member to have been diagnosed with MS? Do you have other friends or a support group? @mandrexy‍ @anniepops‍ @johanna‍ @Evie1983‍ @Barlicker‍ @Jakethecad‍ @Eglentyne‍ @clifton‍ @Garrett2‍ @Polart‍ @msRon85‍ @Sonredz‍ @racheuan‍ @marie1968‍ @Andie68‍ @shellmo4‍ @mparry‍

@JosephineO I was the 1st in my family to be diagnosed, but my sister has since been diagnosed with MS a few years ago.
