I just wanted to tell you that I am seeing a specialist in Houston and
during my first visit he asked if I ever had mono and if I get a lot of
upper respiratory infections. He said that endo and all of the disease
and sicknesses are related beacuse your system is attacked he also
believes (and has done a study) that endo and insulin are closely
related, and mono has some connection to all of this. I have problay
made this as clear as mud but I just wanted to say I understand. I know
how you feel, when you said I am sick of being sick! I hope that you
feel better, but take care because I tried to push through mono and it
made things worse. Take care and I hope you have a blessed ending to
your day!
