I have Rh- Blood

Everyone is born with a certain blood type that is either Rh+ or Rh-.  Rh+ blood is more common than Rh- blood.  85% of the population has Rh+ blood.  That leaves 15% of the population that is like me with Rh- Blood.
It wasn't until recently, January, 2015, that I became aware of just how important my blood, and blood type is.  I have known my blood type since 1989/1990, when I became pregnant with Ty.  I was given the RhoGAM shot for both pregnancies.   Six months after giving birth to Ty,  my body went nuts.  It was in the fall of 1990 that I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.  I needed something to blame this horrible disease on, so I blamed it on the RhoGAM shot.  I will never know if this was the trigger for RA, and even if it was, I would not change a thing, knowing that I am lucky and blessed to have two beautiful, healthy sons.
