That in itself is nothing new as I have three conditions that are considered extremely rare and are on the NORD site.
D has not got these but several other conditions. One of these is apparently only seen in a couple of American Indian groups.
Neither I, nor Lawrie have any American DNA. We are Scottish, Irish, English, German, Danish, Norwegian and Baltic.
The doctors at our major hospital are scratching their heads……
I must admit I haven’t even asked what it is as it is not her two main, serious conditions.
I just find it really weird.

In 2002 my late husband was diagnosed with a compression of the spinal cord, which was operated on. Not that unusual you might think but where his was situated was. Most people it is in the lumbar region. His was thoracic. He was asked if he had any Japanese heritage as that is usually where it occurs in the thoracic area. Definitely not we said. He was also told that after the operation it wouldn’t reoccur but it did 3 years later. Surgeon said she’d have to go deeper and joked that she should have put a zip in the first time.
