I was akways told that being Rh negative would complicate pregnancies due to the probability that a child would be Rh positive. They gave me a shot to deal with my baby being Rh positive, and it gave me serum sickness...

Looking this up, it is interesting to note that only 8% to 15% of any population is negative, so why are so many lupus patients negative?

I’m Rh negative - is there a theory that the Rh factor has something to do with Lupus?

O Rhesus Negative = Universal Donor.

Unfortunately, despite being a regular blood donor, & having a much needed blood type, I was prevented from continuing to do so due to having a Sarcoma (rare cancer).

I believe now having SLE prevents me donating also.
