relatives with rheumy disorders or other autoimmune diseases

[Guest guest]

From what I have read, families may have different forms of arthritis and

or....other autoimmune diseases..like type 1 diabetes...Crohns

disease....yuk..some day they will pluck out that gene and then we will have to

only worry

about all of life's other problems...no easy answer.

In my family this is what we have:

Brother Polymyalgia rheumatica

Cousins Type one diabetes

Rheumatoid arthritis

Crohns disease and Celiac disease( 6 people.out of 100 )

This is out of a pool of easily 100 people...

I have 21 first cousins..only one is not a grand parent...one is a great

grand parent so...I have a large genetic pool on one side of the family.

My dad was an only child so I have no known relatives on his side.

I have one biological child who is 12

I pray he and his offspring stay well

Hugs my friends.. I wish you peace of mind and body Love Liz near

Philly
