a call to arms

[Guest guest]

Hello My name is I currently live in Utah (again). I have a

theory about my disease that I want researched or at the very least

studied. In 1990 I moved to Portland Oregon (sea level). In 2000 I

moved back to Utah SLC (5000 ft above sea level). In the year 2000 I

had a diagnosis of Psoriasis, one small patch on my shin. In 2002 I

moved back to sea level and the psoriasis disappeared. I had no other

symptoms in the next 2 years. In 2004 I needed to move back to SLC

Utah for various reasons. In January of 2005 I was diagnosed with a

shallow vein thrombosis. In late 2005 and early 2006 I had to sleep

after work every day and developed a bruise like area on my clavicle.

By June 2006 My left fore finger swelled up and I began to have

severe fatigue and dizzy spells. It was in July and the remaining

moths of that year that I was diagnosed with this disease. I now have

full blown Psoriatic arthritis that is resistant to treatment. There

is something in my physiology that is linked to sea level pressure

but I have no way to prove it. My husband and I wish to move back to

the Washington/Oregon area and I want someone to study the effects of

this climate change on my disease. I am willing to do what ever a

research team needs to look into this aspect of auto-immune arthritis

because I think it will be valuable in the ongoing arthritis research

studies.

Please take this offered opportunity to study this. No one else has

and I believe it is valid for at least some sufferers. Since my meds

at retail are 1400.00 per month for just ONE of my meds I would think

that some entity would like to research the alternatives to this

devastating disease. I am not asking for finances I am not asking

for anything but for someone to at least track this for the sake of

more information for everyone. I will move back to the northwest come

hell or high water with or with out your study. Please take advantage

of this opportunity to study this aspect of this disease.

Please At least consider that this might provide answers for some

sufferers. I am an open book, I will give you access to my med recs

and anything else and if by chance you can help me in some way ok.

But that is not my goal here. My goal is to help others and to

advance research for these diseases.

I hope that you will consider my offer.

Sincerely,
