Convince my mother to take a very important blood test that could determine one way or another if I got her genetic blood disorder from her or from my father? I need to know very soon. She was talked out of having this test by my oldest sister, who believes this test and my disease is bogus. I love my mom very much, but she doesn't understand the importance to me to have this test done. She is 76 years old. Without her blood being tested, I can't get the proper medicine for this disorder. Although there is no cure, I can receive treatment to prolong the inevitable which is death. I am confused and angry towards my family members. Any thoughts in this matter would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

My mother does not suffer with Altzheimer's. She is just so passive (always has been her whole life) that she is easy to control by my family members. She has no back bone to tell anyone what she feels or what she wants to do.

Yes I do know I have a genetic blood disorder and was tested twice for it. As for what does it matter who gave it to me, matters a lot. They will look at specific genetic markers and based upon the info they need from my mother, will determine which medication they can give me. As it stands, this genetic blood disorder, doesn't have a name, just a bunch of numbers. It is a rare disease and a fairly new one as well, that is why it doesn't have a name yet. The info they do know, and how to treat it is very important for me in the long run.

Tell your mom that you want her to take the test because you care about her health and you love her very much. Tell her it would please you just to go to the doctor and do a few simple tests. Make sure you remind her of the consequences of the disease. Good luck.

What does it matter if your Father or your Mother gave it to you genetically? Do you know you have it? If you have a genetic disease get your blood tested!
Stop worrying about who gave it to you and take that energy and apply it to getting better!

have her talk to a doctor about it would be my best guess..(by the way i was either 13 or 14 for my first kiss, it was like a perfect moment! i had a horrible day because i got yelled at by someones parents for doing nothing wrong and i had to get picked up by his mom and we hung out for about 5 hours at his house, i was watching a movie in his room and he had gone to the kitchen to get something to drink and i was so into the movie and all and he came back in and handed me the drink so i took a sip and gave it back to him and he wouldn't grab it and was staring at me, i was thinking ok?? but deep down i sensed what was about to happen so he looked down at my lips and slowly moved his head closer and kissed me, i couldn't help but smile..i felt so warm inside! then that whole night he would lean over and kiss my check or my lips and say i love u, then right before i left we were in his room and he gave me a longer kiss,, i was like wow! lol, ok that sounded wierd but you can leave a message on my yahoo answer page if u want to!)
