Diabetes is one key, but there might be others?
Such as those due to auto-immune 'cascades'. Being a 'beneficiary' of the latter, I appreciate all body defense and destroy actions/reactions. Hereditary or not. I wish I could get genetic testing to conclude positively or not that my own condition is genetic or not. Not ONE of my physicians seems to show a 'whit' of interest in this quarter.
To be diagnosed with a genetic 'connection', well, would enable me to receive certain therapies I would not qualify for under my current CIDP diagnoses [as CIDP is considered ACQUIRED Immune disease, not hereditary] Hereditary issues are considered 'primary' conditions and now more readily covered for many key therapies.
Face it, 90%+ of neuros do not go beyond diagnosis, and pallative treatments. Most cases, there IS nothing more than 'pallative' treatments. The rest we have to 'go fish!' on?
That was off track SOOOO FANFAIRE? HOW ARE YOU? - j
