I forgot to ask you the name of the doctor you mentioned who says
more pople should know that immune responses are higher amongst
psych patients. In many venues that's interpreted as a symptom of
psychiatric illness. Articles indicating sensitivities (including
autoimmune problems) can affect the central nervous system date
back to the turn of the century. Doctors have heard about
this...but they continue to slaughter poeple with sensitivities by
denying their experience on the basis of an absence of
information.
Why? Who knows, but it's a real horror...especially for those
psych patients with undiagnosed sensitivities as the cause of their
problem, and who are surrounded by the twin enemies of ignorance
and arrogance.
But, to be honest...it's not any owrse than what a lot of people
face with other disabilities.

His name is Dr. Ramesh (sp) Gupta. He once practiced at The Mao Clinic,
which he likes to brag about, but I can't blame him for that, I probably
would too.
CB>enemies of ignorance and arrogance.
I have run into that.
CB>people face with other disabilities.
No doubt about that. I've been really lucky in that two of my three Drs.
are not arrogant. I even heard one of them tell a tech that he was sorry
when she couldn't read his writting. Some docs would have torn her head
off, he just said "sorry." I liked that! My other doc while a bit
arrogant is good and the relationship between us seems to be improving.
They are watching me close, with visits from two weeks to 1 month apart now.
I feel that I'm getting the best medical care that I have ever received.
This is all through an HMO, thus I feel like when a test is done it is
necessary.
