Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 There might be a genetic predisposition. Some folks have relatives with a condition and others have no history in siblings, parents, and grandparents. Once upon a time, physicians said that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was inherited through recessive genes. That means one gene from each parent. So, no history, then what! If Gulf War Syndrome is caused by mycoplasma, genetics does not explain how spouses exposed to their soldier develop health problems. My paternal grandparents came from Ireland. Neither they, their six children, nor their 12 grandchildren have any of these conditions. I have RA and Fibromyalgia....I am adopted. HTH Denise P.S. yes, possibly, but write me privately, please, with your particulars. > what i have found out,it says it is an inherited condition,and comes > down thru the genes.My father was Irish,and I was told that is why we > now have it.Is there anything that will put it into remmission?We > would be happy tpo find out that we could feel better.mary > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
