Hi jetjetjet the doctors in London UK did a blood test for me 2 years ago and apart Hughes syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, Polyglucosan myopathy pseudo obstruction – in association with gastrointestinal neuromuscular disorder of the gut, they found Glycogen Storage disease in the intestine which they told me I'm one of 5 people in the world who has it, and recently Osteoarthritis.
Do you have any of these diseases as to me what you are saying your blood is unique I would like to know what they found, as it might be of help to me. Thanks
