Hi, so grateful to have found this group. I’m a44 year old Irish female diagnosed with MP two years ago with no other underlying conditions. Like many others on here my doctor had never treated anyone with this before. My gastric consultant said it’s an autoimmune disease so passed me off to a rheumatologist who said as I had no obvious joint problems that it wasn’t her area so I get fobbed off again and left to fend for myself. My GP suggested I take prednisone for flare ups and that usually helps for a while. Currently going through a flare up right now with abdominal pain, back pain under my rib cage, bloating, constipation and pain in my right eye.
