Hi, my 13 year old daughter has been asking me quite a lot over the past few days whether she can inherit sle and aps and whether it is gene related (I think some of friends have asked about this at school). I keep dodging the subject and have said that if she were to get any symptoms that the drs would be very quick to investigate in view of my very complex medical history and the great amount of time it took to diagnose me.
Has anyone else had to deal with this question from their children and if so, what did you say please?
We have a very open and loving mother/daughter relationship and she is very mature in many ways because of growing up with me being ill all the time. Of course, I hope with all my heart that she grows up fit strong and healthy without any of my medical problems, but I must admit when I was first diagnosed with sle 3 years ago, it did play on my mind too. :umm:
Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Gentle Hugs to you all
