Age 58 when got TM. Grew up from age 7 to 21 in Hamilton Ont. Steel town. Lived within 3 blocks of factories from 1952 until 1966. Lots of smog and pollution. Father who worked at steel plant had Rheumatoid Arthritis. I got TM at age 58. My middle sister (3 yrs younger ) diagnosed with TM at age 43 in 1991. My youngest sister (7 yrs younger) diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 19 in 1972. All the above are autoimmune conditions. I have often wondered if it has anything to do with where we grew up.

Actually, it was really scattered. Sorry. Janice =
