[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2026335, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=188016]@conniecar[/USER] I have given a lot of thought to auto-immune conditions since they appear in both sides of my family. My maternal grandmother had rheumatoid arthritis for at least the last 20 years of her life. My father had chronic asthma and hay fever. I succumbed to Type 1 as a baby. My sister, who is 59, has had rheumatoid arthritis for several years now. My daughter became coeliac 16 years ago at the age of 18. All these are auto-immune conditions and would have killed sufferers in the past. Because we now have the means to deal with them, the prevalence is infinitely greater since we are able to pass on an over excitable immune system. The whole method of producing ready food, such as quick baked bread is a result of interfering with the kind of wheat grown , which contains a much higher gluten content than that 80 years ago. Not that any of this is a consolation! Understanding this made me more able to come to terms with being the only Type 1 in my family tree, until the present generation - 2nd cousin. Have a look at this link regarding epilepsy, very interesting: [URL]https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/69/6/711[/URL] Since reading the above posts I forgot to mention that my mother had cataracts at the age of 51 and an ophthalmologist asked her if there was any diabetes in the family. My mother eventually died from a combination of osteoporosis and Parkinson's. Meanwhile I hope your life becomes more manageable and tolerable. All the best [/QUOTE]
