I was diagnosed last May at the age of 32. I do not fit the "normal" profile either, but my doctor said that their is a huge rise in our age group with no apparent risk factors. Just in the time that I was treated, 3 other people my age range were treated by my doctor.

I was pregnant when mine developed, but other than that, my health was normal.
