@michael1973 --- Of course you would not, Michael. I'm just letting you know there are a lot of reasons for our maladies and research is the best way to become aware of them. Then, when you are speaking with doctors about "other" symptomology or problems, you can "ask" them "what if" or probing, open questions. Do you suppose my "X" issue could have something to do with my trigeminal neuralgia (neuropathy)? For example...

I had neuropathy symptoms for a couple years that varied widely, but generalized around the feet/toes. It was not gout. So, no one had an answer. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with a blood disorder (cancer) that I made the connection using ChatGPT to analyze my broad blood tests, morphology (genetics/epigenetics), and pathology (marrow). That empowered me to ask a tactful question to my oncologist, while NOT putting him on the defensive. That's important. He said that it could be related. Then to his credit, he ordered a test that the health industry had available for that determination. (I already knew of the test but had said nothing). Needless to say, I was thrilled when he suggested it and I gave him "credit" for his decision.

The test results "positive" led to treatment that would kill the cancer cells and remove them from the nerve myelin sheathinig that was causing my neuropathy. I know it should take 4.6 months on average IF it works for me, but it's the best option available today.
