    You very well may have caught this from the very source your son has, and not from your son. Truth.

    Hi Lucas;  in contrast to the others' replies....yes you probably have caught the Virus from your son...he would have probably had it in his system for upto a fortnight (as it usually takes this time for the virus to incubate); and with your low Immune System (all sufferers of Auto-immune diseases have a Low immune system), you probably picked up the germ/virus the same day your son brought it home from school....it pays for us, with auto-immune diseases, to take a supplement daily, all year round, to try and boost our immunity (I take Horseradish, Garlic and Vitamin C...you can buy capsules containing all three....also take Berroca....1 tablet dissolved in water, which also contains all/many vitamins..especially vitamin C)....you now need to treat your symptoms vigoriously, so that you don't becomed too sick......sorry for bad news....Bron
