Thanks for being so kind and supportive, Colleen. It is much appreciated. I was turned down for the genetics appointment that I was referred for. I put this together last night, and then faxed it in to the doctor in genetics who does not want to evaluate me. I'm hoping he will reconsider, but I'm hearing from people in the Twin Cities that Mayo has been refusing to diagnose and treat people such as myself who have probable connective tissue diseases that have never been diagnosed and treated. Nobody seems to know why patients like myself are being refused.
