but aggravated by pregnancies and viruses.
had 6 pregnancies, and by the time i was 2 i had chickenpox, measles, and roseola.
i was doomed to sketchy health from the beginning. i got west nile in '02, and have been sick ever since.

docs all missed it because it usually doesnt make ppl that sick.
one gave me the tear test, which i passed. but my eyes are sensitive to blue light, and it was in a office w fluorescent lights. but my teeth tell the tale. doc never asked.
the 4th of those pregnancies was a horrible but early miscarriage, twins. and the 5th was a pair of of identical twins and i lost 1. was not diabetic at that time. had the 3 hr test.

so, yeah, usually an annoyance. except to me and those 3 very much wanted babies.

all of which is to say i hope your sons stay well. but this shit can travel in packs.
make sure they get vaccinated for flu and anything else they can.
