Hi all

As some of you will know I am the third generation in my family to have an auto immune condition - Granddad had Lupus, Mum has Rheumatoid Arthritis and I have Wegs. I can now exclusively reveal that my sister has joined the party and was recently diagnosed with Lupus with secondary Raynauds.

We all laughed about it initially as between myself and Mum we've seen and done it all in relations to doctors, meds and hospitals. There isn't much she will go through that we cant help her with.

It has always been on my mind that I could pass down the genes for auto immune disease to any children I have, i'd like to think that that's it now with my family but I don't think so some how.
