Immunologist in Mexico only deal with with immunodeficiencies and allergies. The only autoimmune diseases a rheumatologist doesn’t treat are ALS, MS, hashimotos.
Yeah, I am dealing with an overreactive lymphatic system. I think that’s why he recommended an immunologist.
Well, that's not true. I've met some good immunologists who deal with all the spectrum of illnesses related to the immune system and they studied here in Mexico, whereas the rheumatologists I've met deal more with arthritis and conditions similar to that one.
Hahaha ok whatever you want I know them Enjoy
