Autoimmune comditions

[jamesfitz]

Following your type 1 diagnosis which other autoimmune conditions did you go on to develop?

 

[lizdeluz]

Hypothyroidism. I take thyroxine daily.

 

[Diamattic]

a severe case of Awesome... Wait no I already had that...

So far nothing I guess?.. I would really like to keep it that way too.

 

[CarbsRok]

Diabetes, under active thyroid, Addison's disease, coeliac, and being investigated for MS. Besides that am fit and healthy

 

[Juicyj]

Hypothyroidism too, I take levothyroxine daily, there is a connection to other auto immune conditions, is this why you are asking ?

 

[Flakey Bake]

Psoraisis, which came before diabetes. I just hope it stops there :-(

 

[Robinredbreast]

Coeliac , Oral Lichen Planus and Osteopotosis (which could be an autoimmune condition, it's still being investigated)

I had endometriosis ....severely for 20 years lots of surgery etc Alot of people think it is an auto immune disease .I also had asthma as a child and I currently take anti viral drugs as I get a lot of facial cold sores....my immune system seems a bit weak.

My mam and grandad both have/had vitiligo and I was joking I'd been hit with the short straw when I noticed a patch where my mam says her first one came up! Luckily, in her words I'm "so pale anyway you can't even tell" but still! Autoimmune sucks -_-

I have very high thyroid antibodies but I'm not yet technically hypothyroid, but that's the only thing so far!

 

[ann34+]

hypothyroid, lichen planus, currently monitored for pernicious anaemia as have antibodies, now waiting investigations for a very unpleasant autoimmune condition, annoying to discover there are a whole range of autoimmune conditions i had not heard of that affect mainly women in their late 50's and 60's and even later .

 

[endocrinegremlin]

hypothyroidism, endometriosis (suspect that could be genetic though...though...also suspect my d is genetic. far too many of us have it...),

 

[DonnaC-T]

Raynauds. X

 

[Lozj82]

Hypothyroidism, Lupus SLE, sjogrens and raynauds (whilst not autoimmune also have epilepsy which they say goes hand in hand with diabetes but who knows!)

 

[lisacp]

Hypothyroidism, Addisons disease and pernicious anaemia.
