[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom spent my entire life mocking her older sister for ill-defined health issues dating back to childhood. Then, my youngest was born with all of the same health issues and our doctor wanted to get a full family health history and genetic tests. Turned out my aunt had a disorder not normally associated with our social race, but because we are mixed race, she inherited it. My mom had one copy and passed it to me who passed it to DD who got a second copy from her dad. For fifty years, my aunt was undiagnosed because of racism and then reviled within her own family as shirking school/work and being melodramatic. 50 years. I cry every time I think of my DD in the same position. The only difference between them was the year they were born. Both are doing well now with medication and monitoring. My mom has never apologized to her sister. [/quote] Sickle cell anemia? I’m genuinely curious what the condition could be.[/quote]
