[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 398519, member: 7083"] Terry, they don't know what causes autoimmune disorders. They're not necessarily genetic, however, having a member of your family with an autoimmune disorder does make it somewhat more likely that you will have an autoimmune disorder, but not necessarily the same one. And it's not something they look at and say...your mom has lupus, so we're going to watch you. It seems to be more of an after the fact thing - when looking at me they want to know if anyone else in my family has an autoimmune disorder. It then makes it easier for them to think that I have one, too. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
