Hi ,

Welcome and nice to have you with us.

I can see how you may be so concerned with your son's health. I've had

three pregnancies with lupus and before I even considered going through with

pregnancy I have read so much about the possibility of " passing " on lupus.

ly, over the years I have read so much contradicting stuff that I

really didn't come up with an answer. I've read articles where they said

lupus usually skips a generation, then I read it was bull; there was

something about a child developing only visible signs within the first year,

but it was only a manifestation not the real thing; I read that Lupus cannot

be passed on. Please anything goes.

Bottom line I think that just as with lupus one may never know what will

happen next, the same with whether our children get it as well. From the

newest stuff I read it seems that they probably don't, but please do not

quote me on that.

I don't know how PANDAS will affect Philip with possibly getting Lupus.

Please be sure to ask your pediatrician as well as rheumatologist when you

do get to see him. Any chance of pushing the visit up to earlier. It's a

mighty long time to wait, especially when you're experiencing such symptoms.

Good luck and take care.
