I have FM, Osteo & Rheumatoid Arthritis & Anxiety disorder & 2yrs ago just found out I have a double MTHFR genetic mutation from both my parents that predisposes me to all of this, particularly anxiety. My Mum was an anxious person & developed Alzheimers at age 63. It took 15yrs for her to die from it. The trauma, of those years still affect me today & I'm almost 67yrs old myself. My fear of following that same route as my Mum sent me searching for an Integrative Dr & he's been rescuing me with Suppliments to replace what my body cannot process from food. Scottish & Scandinavian people are more prone to the MTHFR issues. It's working but I still have daily challenges & have to pace myself for my own healths sake.

I'm sorry sweetie, I've never even heard of that, but I did have abusive parents, bullying classmates and 2 alcohol abusive exhusbands before God put me together with the man who spoils me rotten now. That's how I ended up with fibro.

I have never heard of this. I am often just simply amazed that anyone lives to ole age considering all the things that we go through from birth and beyond! With the professionals not having a clue as to what does or doesn't, may or may not contribute to FMS, I subscribe to the "garbage can theory"--just throw it all in there! But, along the same lines as your question, I have wondered if others with FMS have biological children who have fibro, or any other related symptoms or illnesses. My 3 kids each have some of the same challenges I face, but none of them have, so far, been diagnosed with FMS. The youngest, my 35-yr old daughter, has numerous issues: RA, probable lupus, Crohn's disease, migraines--other auto-immune concerns. I can't help but wonder about the genetic component(s) of these problems. I battle feelings of guilt in conjunction with the possibility or likelihood that I may have passed some sort of lifelong health issues to them. Would be interested to hear from others regarding this subject! Sending hugs!

God has blessed us both with good husbands!

I never even thought of that! None of my doctors have ever been very concerned about it!
