I live in North Carolina and I was told in 2011 that I had wg. I am wondering if any of you live near coal plants or pits. I found out that I was living in house with contaimated well water. It had hexvelant chromium and valdiumine and other heavy metals. If I had been warned by company maybe I could have told Dr and different diagnosis. Does anyone think it could start from environmental. It says that heavy metals mimic certain illnesses like autoimmune? Please let me know if u live around company that could be harming water

Yes it is just like Erin brovick and I never was sick until I lived there for 2 year. When I became sick I didn't know about contaimated water. Makes me mad cause it can mimic so of the things I have. I just hope these Dr know that I have GPA for sure. Scared of meds
