Kelly-Living in Minneapolis, I have always had access to good doctors and fortunately my internist will refer me to a specialist when needed. I haven’t had problems with any of my doctors being out of network for insurance, so I consider myself lucky.
I wish you the best with your new doctors. I know that it is quite a drive when you go to Pittsburgh, so I hope the new doctors make it worth the trip.
All I’ve been diagnosed for so far is Type 1 though I have pretty bad psoriasis (also an autoimmune disease). My mom had Hashimoto’s and now has no thyroid. 
Did y’all know that schizophrenia is linked to autoimmune diseases as well? I already warned my husband… (that’s not even a joke.)
I need to move to a bigger town Lahtump! Small towns are nice unless you need a doctor. The endo I am going to see is one someone had actually given me his name 2 years ago. I couldn’t get in then and his name came up again so I thought I would try. I was able to get an appointment this time. My sister-in-law gave me the name of her pulmonary guy but I did not call about that one yet. I also have one in July with a new neurologist. I am getting all new doctors (except for my foot).
It’s an autoimmune crap shoot in my family Hypothyroid,Hashimotos, Addison’s,IBS(some studies suggest autoimmune),Celiac,Parahyperthyroidism(endocrine not sue if autoimmune) and of course T-1s
The combination is call Schmidts Syndrome.
