Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 After reading the last couple of posts I thought I'd give my 2 cents. I was just talking to my boyfriend today about having our son checked. After I was dx 10 years ago they started checking my sisters, 2 years later one of them started showing symptoms. She had her biopsy done and yes she has it. Now I am worried that I have passed this on to my son. At first we were told in was autoimmune (SP?) then we were told it can be passed on, now the question is should I have my son checked? He has labs done 3 times a year for his thyroid so we're alreadyn there we may as well check?!? BRANDY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 That is so interesting. I seriously had no idea about this. I looked up on IGA.ca and read what it says, but it sounds debatable, you however, are proof that it is not impossible. Does anyone else in your family (before you) have it? > After reading the last couple of posts I thought I'd give my 2 > cents.
