Not one. Huge family too...

I also come from a large family and I drew the short straw, I am the only case of MS that I know of.

I am one of 5 kids in an extended family of 300+ members. I am the only one w/MS.

no one in my family does that i know of. my mom died in her late 30's not of this disease. she had really bad arthritis in her legs and was in severe pain and some days had to be flat on her back. i was only 13 when she died. i have often wondered though if maybe her problem was ms. i have really severe pain in my legs with the ms, that and fatigue along with the cog fog are my major problems.

My husband has 80 1st cousins and he is the only one in his generation that has it. HOWEVER, he has 15 blood aunts and uncles. One aunt and uncle on his father's side had MS. The aunt never had children and his uncle had ..I think 9 kids and around 30 grandkids. NONE of them have MS.

i have a second cousin who was just dx. but she is like 65. i was 30. u know its funny i think this gene came from my moms dad side. my mom and sister both have had bells palsy and my grandfather has parkinsons (moms dad) and my moms sister has seizures. she has had some of her brain removed to prevent them. i think in some way shape or form, for my family i think there is something fishy going on. i emphasize my family. kelly

No one in my family either

I have a HUGE extended family, and only one other relative I know of that has it. She is my grandma's-nephew's-daughter...so I think that makes us 2nd or 3rd cousins???

My Mother has Lupus and Fibromyalgia

I have a neice who was diagnosed at the age of 19, she is now 33 and doing great. I was diagnosed at 47, 2 years ago and not doing so great.
