My ex husband passed in 1987 from Lupus. We had something called 5ths Rash or 5th 's disease pass through the community before he came down with symptoms.it is similar to Roseola a measles like disease that babies get. Both my 6 month old son and he had a rash from the 5ths. My ex ' s never resolved and I believe it turned into lupus as far as I'm concerned. There was one distant female cousin who had lupus but that was the only genetic link we could find.

He used to have flairs when he ate the pancake syrup we made at home from boiled sugar, water, and a dash of Mapline flavoring. Never knew if it was the sugar or the maple that set it off.

I wish we didn't have to sign into that site to finish reading.
