Many things possible: Many things are possible in life. That is why the answer to "Is it possible" or "Can it happen" is almost always yes. For subtle or uncommon symptom relationships, a patient has to work with his doctors in-person to see what the likely causes are, and what else needs to be done. Many things are possible even if not likely. This public forum (or any public forum) cannot help enough in such cases.
