Other family members with neurological disorders?... Empty Other family members with neurological disorders?...

Post  Cluelesskitty Mon 18 Apr 2011, 5:25 pm

I was wondering if neurological disorder 'goes in our families', or if it is us only.

I had an older sibling, a brother, who passed away many years ago due to a stroke.
He suffered with epilepsy.

So I am not the only one whose brain is "screwed" in my family. My brother got it bad, too.
I don't however remember him having a M or even HA, ever! hmmmmm....
Curious...

If you don't mind sharing that with us- do you also have a close family member with a neurological disease/ disorder?

Other family members with neurological disorders?... Empty family history

Post  lentils Tue 19 Apr 2011, 7:43 am

grandfather: Parkinson's and occasional migraines
grandmother: occasional migraines and severe menopausal depression-she spent two years in bed
mother: severe mental illness-probably schizophrenia. I did not know her but she has my "migraine look" in some photos.
I do not have any history for my maternal grandparents.
All of my grandparents lived well into their 80's and early 90's. Most of their children died in their early 80's.
