Since my granddaughter (21) was just diagnosed, I have spent literally 100 hours researching. While family history is one theory (no one seems to know for sure), there is also a theory that a virus is involved. Megan's doctor believes it was from the malaria she caught while she was in Africa 5 years ago on a missionary trip with her church. The family history is almost always from a father who has MS that is handed down to his children. No one in our family has had MS. It was believed that my sister had it but then they found a malignant tumor on her spine - this was 30+ years ago so they did not have the tools then they have today. Megan has not had her spinal tap yet as she also just had a baby - which is not unusual for MS to show up during or after pregnancy.
