Lupis

[jackie261]

My Brother was 10 years old when he got real sick and past away a year after. They finally diagnosed him as having Lupis. this was 39 years ago and back than I dont think people knew what it was. I now have a son and worry all the time for him. My question is can I pass it to someone ? Is it just in the genes ?  Can it be passed through hereditary ?

I have been doing research on this since I FIRST FOUND OUT I HAD IT! there is really no answer to that yet. its still hard for them to really diagnose it. noone in my family had it. and i pray that my kids won't have it. sorry for your loss.

Don't fret, or fear, but take courage and remain a patient. Be proactive in your life.Do your body good. Always do your homework, when given information about your health. Stay in contact with people who have experienced it as well. May the Lord heal us to encourage others.

Lupus is more prevalent in women, but also found in men. I believe it's passed more from woman to woman... but I may be wrong. I've read reports that say it's not so much passed from women to their sons, but women to their daughters; I have two daughters!
For me, I believe that a very stressful situation brought on my lupus. The conditions may have been present in my body, but did not manifest until I went through Months and Months of a stressful situation.Diet and exercise help us all throughout our lives.

I have just found out that I ave lupus.  After a year of every test that you can have.. But no one on both sides of my family have it, but I guess it has to start somewhere.  I also believe that my was brought on my very stressful situation, because my dad died then my granny died and right after that is when I started hurting so bad.. I am worried about my 13 yr. old because he complains with headaches, muscle aches, joints hurting so I am going to have  him checked.   I pray that he doesnt have it,  especially this young.
