You rephrase this question. Currently, we do not have any knowledge about any med which can trigger an autoimmune disease.

Your question is hard to answer, as not clear if your genetics are heterozygous, or you have experienced incomplete penetrance, or you have your Mom's heredity. There is NO such medicine approved by FDA which would "trigger autoimmune disease" but if you find such a product, please let us know.
