My daughter was diagnosed with lupus 5 years ago and i was 1 yr ago, her doctor told her that was impossible because lupus skips a generation and for me to have it would mean that she wouldnt have it but her daughter would, is this true? because i have a mild case and she has the kind that effects her organs and has to have kemo, mine just effects my muscles right now and its under control. if you could please email me and let me know i would appreciate it.
I'm afraid that your doctor is mistaken and that there are numerous case histories of lupus occuring in mothers and daughters. Lupus however, very individual in its manifestations, and there is no reason to expect that your daughter's case will develop in a similar way to your own. However, most patients experience their worst lupus flares early on in the course of the disease. If your daughter responds well to treatment over the next few years, she may be less severely affected in the long term.

At 22 wks weeks my husband and I went in for a regular prenatal exam and I was told my Ob/gyn that I needed to go and have emergency surgery to have a cerclae put in to keep my little second child from being delivered early. So of course I had the surgery just to better my baby's chance of survival. I still delivered at 35wks 5days but my baby was born healthy (5lbs 8oz). I was told after delivery that there was scarrig done to my cervix from the cerclage. My dr. didn't have time to remove the cerclage before my water broke so he burst through my cerclage. At my pap smear, my regular Ob dr. said that I had a hole in my cervix that is almost beyond repair so having another baby would be very high risk. I found out at an appt yesterday that I maybe pregnant. Should I fear the worse or be as happy as I want to be?
