PMR - What do you wish you had known . . .

I wish that there was a professional to talk to about why autoimmune diseases happen and what is the reason your body attacks self. I hate just medicating for symptoms of disease; there should be a root cause! I have read a lot about GCA but still have unanswered questions or fears when I get a headache or temple area hurts. Is it from GCA. Worry wart I guess!!

@lmguen Agreed, but unfortunately they don't know and while some doctor's and researcher do care about the current situation, mostly not a lot is being done because it's simply not a priority. Complicated by the fact that it all seems to be beyond our current knowledge to even find a way of establishing what exactly the underlying issue is. Yes, too hard perhaps.
