[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More importantly, why is it important for you to know the cause of death? What changes?[/quote] It's a data point. I am the latest in a cluster of young women (under 40 at the time) in my family to be struck with multiple autoimmune diseases all at the same time. In a few cases, death has occurred within a year or two. I didn't even know people could die from lupus until this started. Some much older relatives have mentioned a similar cluster of ill or dying young women in the '40s. Some of us are their grand-daughters. However, back then, people didn't talk about illness the same way. Cancer, for example, was seldom publicly acknowledged. We've been looking at both DNA and family death records to try to get some answers. I'd like to give my daughters or granddaughters some sense of what is going on. [/quote]
