Hi there,

Not sure if anyone posts in this section...but it's worth a shot!!

I have an autoimmune disease called CREST with + ANA. I also have hypothyroidism and prothrombin gene defect. I've had one successful pregnancy and 3 losses. I am convinced my AI disease is causing my losses, but my doctors here in Ottawa will not give me anything to suppress my immune system. I have an appointment to see Dr. Laskin in a few months, just wondering if anyone has had similar issues and/or if he prescribed steriods? I'm really hoping that I'm not wasting my time driving all the way to Toronto to see him.

Thanks!!
