Well, I have BP because my mother has it and her father had all the signs of it, but never went to a psychiatrist. I have Multiple Sclerosis from my fathers side of the family, my cousin has it also. So, yeh, All the major debilitating illness were given to me.... My sister does have fibromyalgia, but.....mine are still much worse. She's never been in the hospital because of fibro. I've been in the hospital for both my BP and MS.
