Has anyone else developed major allergies who has a parent with Lupus?

My Mother had Lupus and Now all of her kids have Major allergies. Has anyone else had this happen?


I am wondering if it is related because I am allergic to MSG which means it neurologically effects me. And Lupus is a neurodegenerative disease so I find this concerning. My sisters are all allergic to Protein such as Soy, Milk, etc. What are other peoples experience with having a parent with Lupus?Has anyone else developed major allergies who has a parent with Lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease not a necessarily a neurodegenerative disease. Multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease. People with lupus can have neuropathy, which is nerve pain. Lupus can affect any part of the body. For me it was heart, lungs, bone marrow, blood and kidneys but NOT nerves.





I have lupus and none of my kids have allergies. They are not necessarily linked, although both have to do with an immune system reaction.
