Q: Husband has MS. Should we have more children

My husband was diagnosed with MS in 2007. We would love to have another child. I am so worried about him passing it on to our child. I just need some advice this is tearing me up inside. I want more children so bad but so worried at the same time. Thank You

I am only an Ear Nose Throat doctor but I don't know of any evidence that MS is transmitted to the offspring. There are some MS support groups, there is a national organization and they have a web site. You can get real support there and get your concerns answered there.
