How Is Aspartyglucoseaminuria And Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated ?
Question: I have a daughter with aspartyglucoseaminuria. As a carrier, I have rheumatoid arthritis and now my doctors think I have a metabolic disease as well. I cannot do much activity without losing my breath and getting a very high pulse rate. I also get a lot of chest pain. My heart, lungs, and iron counts are fine. I have very low potassium, but with supplements it is now normal
