Is it fair to have kids when you have TS?

Buddy,

 

Omega 6 oils are found in Borage or Primrose Oils. However, my understanding is that it is people who are pyroluric who normally need to supplement with Omega 6's. I wanted to tell you about it as a possibility that you were reacting to the Omega 3's, but perhaps it is best to get tested to see if you have pyroluria. If not, then too much Omega 6 could potentially worsen symptoms as well.

Has anyone out there had concerns regarding whether or not to have kids?

 

I mean you have a 50/50 risk of passing it on to your kids - I wouldn´t wish that for my kids?!?

 

Am I making any sence?

At the age of 25 I was advised by 3 doctors that I get a hysterectomy because of severe endometrosis. They said I would never get pregnant because my womb was all scar tissue inside and out as was my bladder. I didn't have the surgery. 5 years later surprise surprise! I was pregnant and had a beautiful baby girl. 5 years after that the doctors told me that my uterus was prolapsed and other nasty things... and that I would probably never get pregnant again. 1 month after I was told that, I found out I was pregnant again. Had a beautiful baby boy at the age of 37. She's 18 and he's 14 next month. They have been the most wonderful joy of my whole 50 years. Even with all the hyperactivity, allergies and tics. I thank God everyday for them. My husband has never been diagnosed for TS but I believe he is. I have my own strange habits also. My father is OCD and my mother is paranoid schizophrenic. I still believe my kids are a gift from God. I believe they are very happy to be here too. I believe in miracles... but I don't trust doctors too much...

Sometimes we forget that it's much easier to focus on the good than focus on the bad and get all stressed and freaked out. Teach your kids to focus on the good and then give them a sharp stick to poke you with...
