A member asked:

Does one kind of doc specialize in treating "immune-complex diseases"? do i have to bite the bullet and see many specialists due to its complexity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rheumatologist : Would be a good place to start, but depending on how many and how severely different organs are affected, I am afraid the answer is yes.
