Wow! Another Gaia member with arthritis. I have CACP (it's very rare about 15 people in Canada have it- a specialist came up from Ohio to get tissue samples from my joints for a paper) I also have Anklosing Spondylitis.
In my family is diabetes

Wow! Somebody else. It's hard to find other people with arthritis. Eesh... I have heard of those because my dad is a doctor and they aren't very good. I go to Duke University for mine though. It's Rheumatiod so they say it's remission but it doesn't feel like it. It stunted the growth of one of my major weight bearing bones so I've been through plenty of surgery.
In my family everyonr has diabetes before they turn 40.

In our family, we have genes for a lot of pretty common things; diabetes, asthma, heart disease, cancer.....
I already have diabetes. My case is kind of complicated though. I probably would have ended up with it but I had a bad case of pancreatitis and develop diabetes because of the damage done to my pancreas. technically, i think I have both type I and type II diabetes!!! LOL anyway.... both my mother and I have fibromyalgia as well.

Cancer. Mostly breast cancer so far, my Nan had a lump removed and radiotherepy a year ago because said lump was caught just before it turned cancerous. Her cousin has had to have one breast removed after being diagnosed with cancer. One of her aunts had breast cancer, so while I've been told by my doctor that it's too distant a link for me to be worried about, if my aunt has breast cancer during her lifetime then my chances of getting it too will be adjusted accordingly sweatdrop
Luckily apart from cancer we're a fairly healthy cancer. Only 10% of Motor Neurone Disease cases are believed to be genetic so with any luck my Grandad was an anomaly in the family.
Worrying runs in my Dad's side of the family but that's not a proper genetic condition or illness XD

==========
A very small degree of hope
The ones I do know of are pretty common; high blood pressure, different cancers, diabetes...
I'm the oddball in the family. No one since the first of our family (meaning at least 200 years ago) has had seizures -_-
is sufficient to cause the birth of love

My mom and uncle Terry both have Type 2 Diabetes, and my uncle Gary and my mom both have liver problems. And my sister and grandmother have heart problems, but my sister's is due to stress.
There's no big trend in the family, but my mom is always getting me taken to get checked for just about everything.

Ulcerative Colitis and Chron's Disease both run in the family. I'm stuck with the glamorous intestinal ones.

Almost everyone on my mother's side has diabetes. Colon cancer just showed up in my grandfather too.
And you've been having a hard time meeting someone with arthritis? You must be looking in the wrong places because I've met tons of people with it. I myself have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
