I just found out that my mum has this. I hope its not really bad.

its a bad thing.

Auto Immune Disease? AID? I think thats fatal. Oh wait, thats AIDS. nah, shell be fine

Well, that's bad new I guess. My folks are dead and other old folks get afflictions and die as well like we all will eventually. LIke Benjamin Franklin said, "The only sure things in life are death and taxes."

great, I feel much better now

Sounds like the other extreme from cancer... but I could be wrong.

and boomer, thanks for the link....

I just realized my comment seemed like it was saying it's as bad as cancer. That's not what I meant.

Isn't cancer where your cells multiply too much?

If so, then it would kind of be the opposite because cells attack each other, making fewer cells instead of making a lot more.

No, I'm going to disagree with my earlier statement of it being the opposite of cancer, and say it's the opposite of AIDS, because AIDS is where your cells don't protect you against diseases, AID protects you against everything, even your own cells, which is why it's bad. It destroys your cells.
