Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I posted this question in one of Dominie's newsletters some time ago. I would like to try again. I am wondering if anyone out there with Fibromyalgia has a sibling or close relative with MS. I feel in my gut there is a conection but don't know how or where to find any information. My brother was diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS about five years ago. I am his oldest sister and was diagnosed with Fibro sixteen years ago but know I've had symptoms since a teenager. I am now 61 and my brother is 53. In my mind I feel we carry a gene that gave us these diseases, his with dipilating weakness and mine with dipilating pain. We know of no relative who has had either, but figure they diagnosed it as Rheumatism, Arthritis or the like years ago. I do know many times one is diagnosed with one or the other until further testing shows otherwise. Much appreciated for future generations.
