Lumpkin - MEDICAL INFO IS CRUCIAL

Just jumping into the post by Lumpkin...

I would still be working, interacting fully in my life if I had had my family history...

Something to ponder on...if there are over 6,000 rare diseases how many common diseases are there?

Will your doctor rule out every possibility for a symptom? NO - they look to your family history to narrow the field of possibilities. When you do not have a history they do their best but trust me that it is not the best that could be done for you.

Kind regards,
Dickons
