Autoimmune Madness!

I assumed the pain and bleeding of my gums were associated with my having Celiac disease.  After a year of watching my symptoms and failed remedies my dentist sent me to an oral surgeon who knew right away what it was. I had a biopsy with immunoflourence and was diagnosed with Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid. I am currently under the treatment of a dermatologist which I have to drive 200 miles to see, but it has been worth it as I seen to be in the upswing of things.  My advice is always be your own best health advocate!
