Potential Changes[edit]

Hello, This article is very informative but I believe it would be beneficial to add if there are any diagnostic criteria and the prevalence of this condition. Thanks. Emisj (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the changes I will be adding: I will do my best to ensure that each fact has an appropriate, reliable reference. The articles I have found are pretty specific to this very topic. The information is fairly to date and I will find other articles to fill in any blanks. I will prioritize adding sections relating to the presentation, symptoms, treatments, prevalence, any diagnostic criteria and adding an image to aid the comprehension. I will also embed additional links to other Wiki pages as necessary. I will have a non-medical viewer look at my additions to ensure I am not using any medical jargon and the information is clearly understandable to any viewer.

Thank you, --Emisj (talk) 01:22, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
