Thanks ,

I was shocked too. When I started to feel bad I thought what have I done? I've

been taking the other supplements all week and was actually feeling pretty good

for me. It must have been the magnesium cos thats the only thing different I did

on thursday. I'm still feeling like c**p now but not as severe. They are

apparently checking my Magnesium and Vit D with those tests I had on Monday. TBH

I should have mentioned it in our posts but my brain these days is getting

extremely messy. I called the Endo and asked if the results were back and they

said no they were still pending.

I just want the results back now! I'll be straight on here when I get them!

Hi /

The thing with all autoimmune conditions is that an individual is born with the deleterious genes and therefore the susceptibility to developing the condition at some point in his or her life .... but for any autoimmune condition to become overt it needs a trigger. In theory a person with those deleterious genes can go through life without the disease ever becoming active..... this is, however, the theory.... the practice is different.
