Please participate in this POLL: Where you a first-born child?

[Tharrell]

I'm second born and the one with the most health problems later in life and the only autoimmune child.

I have two older brothers. They are in far better health than I am. My oldest brother is 74, very much overweight and smokes cigars all day. He does not take a single medication.

My middle brother had a heart attack at age 47 but has done just fine ever since. He is now 70.

I don't know if he takes any medications, but I doubt that he does.

@Tharrell: but the child preceding you is male or female?

@Jazz: more evidence that maybe it's about the first female child. I also have 2 brothers above me, but no sisters. So I'm the first born female.

@Scottietottie: I like your mother's remark about the 'bad prototype'... Lol... That explains all my woes  too
