Hi Ole,

I realize that. The problem is that SO many of us were misdiagnosed (and are 
still being misdiagnosed), some before there was even a name for the disease, 
and the treatments for our misdiagnoses were often counter-productive to real 
recovery. I would have given anything to know this back when I was treated for 
RA and mycoplasma pneumonia. I'm just saying that all things should be 
considered.
