  3 Generations of MS

  Posted by Suzette on November 21, 2020 at 8:35 am

  Wondering if anyone has experienced what has happened to my family’s experience with MS. My Mom had MS, I have MS and now my youngest son has been newly diagnosed with it as well. If course I fear for my grandchildren.  Always heard you may have a genetic predisposition to MS. However these seems a bit unusual.

  Hi Suzette,

  I’ve been hoping others would respond because I don’t have any other MS in my family, at least none that I know of. However, in various Facebook groups I’ve seen people mention that several others in their families have been diagnosed with MS.

  There’s been research done on this and some studies have noted a possible genetic link, but nothing conclusive. Here’s one that may interest you.
