I feel like childhood Lupus has one symptom that is not detected by Doctors because they don’t put much faith in heredity. I had terrible discoid symptoms when I was a child 8 -21 years old. I believe my chemistry changed with my first pregnancy, but up until then I suffered terrible eczema and then blood itching: sickle-cell like under the skin crawling blood. It felt as though a colony of Procter’s were swimming and living under my skin. I was miserable. As I got older I had three more babies. At 42 after weight loss and excruciating Hop pain and then the onset of Acute Hemolytic Anemia, I was diagnosed after ending up in the Hospital for a Week. My Grandson suffers from water warts or whatever the doctor thinks it is. He is Six. I have also seen symptoms of Lupus in his mother who is my daughter. Her arm swelled up one year for no apparent reason at age 24 and she loses hair around her hairline. Heredity is being overlooked. When you see connective issue of this diseases symptoms in a rash of family members, you know what is happening, but everyone is in denial. This disease is inherent. I can keep going to my mother who was born in 1923 suffering from Acute knuckle swelling osteoArthritis to her having a Belspalsy attack. That needs to be studied more.
