@rgg, just to make sure you know where I am coming from, I have several DNA-type diseases which work for and against each other. Gelsolin, Fukutin Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Acute Lymphocytic(?). Leukemia, various anemias, cancers, Encephalopathy, Blepharochalasis, Hypothermic and hyperthermic Sensitive Purpura, etc. I have begun a list of the DNA I have which may or may not be active but which are damaging if they do start operating. Strangely, the labs can not find any evidence that I have had chicken pox or mumps. However, I have been diagnosed with each by MDs multiple times, including 5 times for mumps. So far, there are about 90 of the DNA disorders/diseases. About 50 are considered clinically active at this time. But I am almost 81 years old, so I can collect anything I want, I guess. When I was born, the MD said he did not expect me to see my third birthday, so I have outlived that guess. Just make sure you protect you health as best you can, and don't be afraid of what happens next. I have had 30 heart catheterizations and 2 cardiac bypasses, and 8 cancer surgeries. Now it turns out that most of this could have been avoided if I had known about my DNA much earlier. And the environmental impacts which may have altered my genetic structures. Radon, Nuclear test radiation, Round-Up, 2-4-d, 2-4-5T, DDT, Sulfa, Ether, Very cold, very hot work sites. Insects, work-until-total-fatigue-then-literally-drop. Any of these can cause variants to come along. And, oh, yes, I was born. That was quite the DNA-shaping experience. Try it some time.

I have RA but because I also worked on a medical campus I do research as well into the latest studies
