[TMIC] Children
Good Morning. It is the first day of SPRING! I have a question for you smarter than me TM'ers. In the future, do we have any information on chances for our children ending up with TM also? Janice
Re: [TMIC] Children
I was told it was not familial. My son has Crohn's and one of his meds lists TM as a possible side effect. Needless to say, I freaked and discussed this with Dr. Kerr and was told it was nothing to worry about.

Ok, Janice, first day of spring or not, it is freakin cold here this morning. Minus eleven, with the wind-chill bringing it to -23C. And it is windy! An inside day for me for sure, I had planned on going fishing - yesterday it was beautiful and warm. So today with the cold, my legs are yelling at me. As for the familial thing: I was told no, it is not familial. However, my 15 year old son has extreme difficulties with his legs, the pain, etc. They have ruled out everything - the good and the bad - but he still has the same kind of pain that I do. He has a small spot on his spine at T2, but of course: there is no way that can be giving him the symptoms he describes I am hoping that it is not hereditary, as I have four children. Interestingly enough, when I was diagnosed, the afflicted son was the only one to ask that question! Have a great day.

RE: [TMIC] Children
Janice I never received anything definite, but when I asked my Neuro he said there is no reason to believe it is passed on. It is just one of those things, that I consider the luck of the draw. However, he did say they should mention it to their primary care physician just so it is in their health records in case they ever show any of the funny symptoms that come with TM. Each of us had different symptoms to being with. Hope this helps a little. Yes it is Spring here at last. It has been a long and terrible winter. We should have sunshine and almost 50 today and warmer during the week. Let's hope it lasts.

*I was also told that TM itself is not familial. The verdict is still ouit on NMO. (Which I have.)* ** *Gracie*
Re: [TMIC] Children
I'm going to chime in here even though I'm not a medical professional. TM is probably not directly hereditary but whatever genes predict the autoimmune system will be passed on - just like the genes for cancer, poor eye sight, etc. My paternal grandmother had digestive problems, I too have had these, the only one of 4 kids to have these. My maternal great-grandfather and my paternal grandfather had mental problems, which what would probably be called Schizophrenia which my sister was dx'd with. My brother died of cancer, my maternal granfather died of cancer. Just as any thing in life, our ancestry and enviroment can't be predicted. That's why the study and research in genetics is so important along with cleaning up our enviroment. Just my thoughts. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

Re: [TMIC] Children
Janice, I'm not sure about TM being passed on. However, there are a lot of autoimmune illnesses in my immediate family. I'm eldest of 3 girls (I'm going on 65). My father had rheumtoild arthritis. My sister 3 yrs younger has MS (was diagnosed in 1991 but figures she had it much longer) My sister 7 yrs younger was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 19 and had large bowel and rectum removed then. My daughter has none of the above. However, this past year she signed up for extra medical insurance coverage and was denied MS coverage should she get it in the future. She had to include on her application any illnesses in her immediate family, mother, father, sibling. She had to declare that I have TM. So that tells me that insurance companies anyway figure there could be a connection.
