Born and raised in the oil & gas fields of Texas. I was the firstborn of eight children. Tnrough the years I developed Diabetes, heart disease & arthritis. Many dx with many symptoms. Due to debilitating pain in my entire body & other symptoms including clinical depression, for three years I got weaker, unable to walk, memory loss, incontinent of bladder & pain would attack me in different sites. After an MRI, spinal tap, & numerous other tests, they finally decided it was MS. Three years later a sister was diagnosed then another. I wonder if a study of MS in siblings has been done.
