Jeepers! You do have a lot of autoimmune illnesses in your family. Kind of scary. I really don't understand insurance companies. They would be really happy if they only had to insure very healthy people that have no accidents of any kind. What a crock. Janice

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.

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
