I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC CANDIDIASIS FOR ABOUT 5 YRS. I DO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY THYROID AND HYPOPARATHYROID. I HAVE AUTOANTIBODIES TO MY ADRENALS. OVER THE LAST FIVE TO SIX YEARS MY DOCS HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLY AT LYMPHOMA, DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY OLDEST BROTHER HAS NHLYMPHOMA. I LOOKED OVER SOME LAB WORK LAST WEEK FROM THE NIH IN WASHINGTON AND NOTICED THAT I HAVE THE ADRENAL ANTIBODIES. NOW THAT I HAVE POINTED OUT THIS DISEASE TO A FEW OF MY DOCS THEY THINK THAT APS1 IS WHAT I HAVE. DO YOU AGREE? ALSO DOES THROMBOCYTOPENIA (ITP) GO ALONG WITH THIS DISEASE.

From your note it does seem that you have the essential elements of APS-1. A genetic confirmation of this is now available through the Athena Labs in Boston. Your doctors might arrange this for you.
