One of my daughters has been diagnosed with everything I have…along with the blood clots and retaining too much iron…
We are now testing her son. We deal with what we are dealt…our moto…”going forward” and try to look for happy!

Karen, this was not your fault, as you never intended for him to be sick. We can't do anything about our genetics, and your son will learn to live with it, as have the rest of us. Blessings and hugs to you both.

It saddens me to read this. This is a hard and difficult time for your son and your family. Please try and put that guilt out the door. It is nothing that you did or didn't do. I do understand the feeling. I worry that my MS and Lupus may show in my adult child. Autoimmune disease is highly hereditary. Fortunately, you are going to be his best advocate. He will need to lean on you. Take care of you! That will allow the stresses of working with your son doable to the best that you can muster. Utilize your lupus doctor for guidance and hopefully he takes Medicaid. If he is able to take Aleve for arthritis??
