Re: Gail - Pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Hi Gail-

I too got very ill with my onset shortly after giving birth to my son. I was

tired, fatigued for 6 months after, but then BAM I got hit hard.

I haven't heard of this disease being genetic, but I guess it is possible. That

was one of my first questions I asked the doctors when I first got diagnosed,

was " Can/will my child get this someday? " and I was told not likely. That this

disease wasn't genetic.

I am sorry that she is having these symptoms. I hope that she doesn't have

Stills but if she does at least you two have each other to lean on.

Gosh you have a lot going on. Make sure you get lots of rest and keep your

stress to a minimum. I know easier said then done. (LOL)]

Keep us updated on your daughter.

Love and Support,

Keri in CA

I know we've discussed this before, how some of us have other family members

with auto-immune diseases. I am a bit nervouse b/c my 16 yr old daughter (who

just had a baby 5 weeks ago) is suddenly experiencing pain in her hands, ankles

and all over body aches. then, her right hand began to get a rash around the

knuckles and this past weekend started to swell slightly. We were at the

portrait studio getting pictures of the baby and she said for me to hold her b/c

her hand hurt too bad and she didn't want to drop her. It looked terrible. But,

about an hour or two later was better.

I am making an appt. with her doc to talk about all this. I don't know about the

other women in this group with children, but my Still's always flared after

pregnancy (my doc said it had something to do with hormones). So, naturally I am

worried. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced this.

Tomorrow morning is my husband's biopsy to see if he has lymphoma. Then later in

the week, the rest of us will travel to MO to witness my son graduating from

Basic Training. I have out of town guests here this week and things are wild.

I need a calgon bath.....!!!

Hugs to you all and welcome to all the newbies. Sorry for all the rambling...
