12 y.o nephew dx w/ diabetes yesterday - Auto-immune diseases hitting our family hard
We are a group of 3 siblings -- 5 kids between our 3 families.
Me -- MS
DD - nothing
DS - nothing
Sister -- diabetes
Niece -- thyroid
Nephew -- diabetes
Brother -- diabetes, thyroid
Niece -- nothing
8 people, 5 with auto-immune diseases, 6 dx.
Very little auto-immune stuff going on, though, in our larger extended family. (Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins)
