We all agree...these online discussions are excellent avenues for women to either: a) research their symptoms and compare stories with other women before going for a medical evaluation, so they are prepared with information, or b) collaborate after seeing the doctor to compare notes, symptoms, treatment options and ask additional follow-up questions with others in similar situations.
The discussion threads should not be used in lieu of a visit with one's doctor!
Thanks---I'm glad you were able to go to the doctor, and hopefully find an underlying cause and treatment options.
Please let us know if you have any questions about autoimmune diseases, and what you find out from your doctor...we are happy to help you continue your research into the best options for you.
