Hi... We just found out that my mom has
lupus, and I was wondering is it possible
that I might get it? My great aunt also
had it(my moms aunt) and does that make it
possible that I could get it... Or could
itr make me a carrier and I could give it
to my child some day? I
mean its bad enough knowing my mom has it,
but to think that I could get it.. Or
even worse pass it on to my children? I
know it's wierd to think about it at such
a young age(im 14).. But i'm just
concerned about the future. Thank-you for
your time.
it is unclear whether or not lupus is
hereditary, you might want to consult
with your parents and their doctor about
this. There are a series of tests that
you can take (blood tests) that may help
answer your question.
You can also go on www.Lupus.Org and find
out information you may need. They may
also have some support groups that can
also help you in your search.
