Scared of getting MND as well

[RenRieson]

Hi everyone, this is a question for those who are biologically related to the MND warrior they are caring for. I am hyper aware of my own body now, after sitting in medical/specialist appointments with my Mum over the past 2+ years. I am constantly analysing any change, because I am scared that I will develop MND. Does anyone else feel this way? Has anyone on here had genetic testing?

Kind regards
Renee

Renee my husband was tested to see if it was possible his version was genetic as we didn't know what his father died from. It came back negative so it won't be passed on to our children. You could ask for your mum to do a blood test.

To be honest Renee I had a gene test done early on and discovered that my mum had passed a bad gene on to me. The good news is my two elder brothers and sister have had no symptoms. Lucky me eh? 😁x
