From what I understand, it may serve as a trigger, but is not the cause.

Thanks Polar...I do worry about my DD, but I would just like some peace of mind knowing if there were a way to 'prevent' her from the possibility. Autoimmune diseases do run in my family...Mom has had Scleroderma for @ 20 years, my maternal Grandmother had SEVERE Rhumatoid Arthritis, my Mom's uncle has Parkinsons, sister -mild Rhumatoid has started....etc, etc, etc. I just need to keep thinking positive, since that is really what I try to focus on, but sometimes the research information makes me start to worry again, but I don't know I could ever 'not worry' about the kids....so I'll pull my big girl panties on!
