I completly agree with you. Here's a brief history. Mother in 59-60's had Addisons disease caused by corisone given for psoriasis with rheumatoid arthritis. Not much known about autoimmune diseases then. Me panic attacks age 22 got better as years went by then Hasimotos thyroditis an autoimmune disease. High ANA even now, chronic lyme's disease, arthritis. Referral this week to rheumatologist. Sister mild lupus with anxiety/depression, kids all show signs of depression, panic attacks, siter's kids pregancy diabetes, anxiety depression. Small family no further history available. I functioned well until the Hashimotos and giving up beer for SSRI, etc. which do nothing. Oh I also lost taste and smell around a year and a half ago.. Fondly, Phillipa
