Dr. Garth Nicholson - Guest Physician in MedHelp

* If you have questions for Dr. Nicholson... please remember to send them to me so that I can e-mail the questions to him the night before *

I hope that all of you will consider taking advantage of this opportunity ! You can read about Dr. Nicholson from googling his name online and also finding his website and his research on autoimmune diseases.

MedHelp is very pleased to announce that Dr. Garth Nicholson, founder of The Institute for Molecular Medicine will be joining us in the Fibro / CFS forum to answer our questions on Monday, October 6th at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time). Dr. Nicholson was formerly the David Bruton Jr. Chair in Cancer Research, Professor and Chairman, Dept. of Tumor Biology at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. He is a Colonel (Honorary) of the U. S. Army Special Forces and a U. S. Navy SEAL (Honorary) for his work on Armed Forces and veterans' illnesses. He is currently engaged in research on the role of infections seen in chronic illnesses, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gulf War Illness and various autoimmune diseases.

Since we will probably have many questions for Dr. Nicholson, I am asking members to send me their questions via PM. Please do this before Sunday, October 5th 5 PM (Pacific Time). With your permission, I will then e-mail him your questions so that he will have time to answer them and post his reply to your individual questions in our forum. He may then be online with us answering other questions at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, as time permits.

We would like to thank Dr. Nicholson for taking time out of his busy schedule to join us.

Hi ! Dr. Nicolson hinted in an e-mail to me that he may be back next week to answer additional questions in the fibro / CFS forum. He may just pop on in.... or he will set up a time & date.

If you would like, you can post your question in his thread (he's aware of these questions and I think was planning on coming back to answer them):

Please continue to check the thread for a response. Also.... if he lets me know a time and date when he's planning on visiting us again... I will post again in this forum.

Any idea if having thyroid and salivary gland issues related to one autoimmune disorder?

I had hyperthyroidism/graves disease and had to have the entire thyroid removed back in 1994. Now last week was diagnosed with Eagle Syndrome and sialadenitis, both different issues. I did have surgery to have the submandibular gland removed along with two lymph nodes and also a calcified ligament that was discovered during surgery. Can i assume this is all in realtion to autoimmune disorder that no one seems to be able to put two and two together to figure me out?
