RELAX!: All the "auto-immune" diseases present in a spectrum of symptoms.You are lucky in that you seem to have minimal symptoms.Don't wait for someone to say it is or is not "xyz" disease-live well;know that these conditions have a stress component that you can reduce with exercise, diet, and relaxation efforts.Expect the best but be prepared if worsening occurs.Outcomes will be effected.
