Crikey !! Jonny. Many on here will have more than 1 autoimmune condition (problem). For instance I have rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo, diabetes LADA, hypothyroidism, and of course there are the "Klingons", the other health problems which accompany these conditions, cardiac CHD, IHD, cysts on kidneys and so it goes on. Don't wait for the next problem to appear, just get on with your life, make the best of it, be as positive as you can. Enjoy.

Well I was just asking - so I know what other to expect lol
But mainly to see if there is a small pattern
Being if you get one your going to get another and if so what types are there out there with RA or diabetes etc

I have Type 1, Coeliac, Oral Lichen Planus and Osteoporosis, which was under investigation but................. A large body of research suggests that the resorption phase is under the control of the immune system, cell mediated, and involves interaction of macrophages and T-lymphocytes. So that would be 4.

I seem to have **** genes too that keep attacking me, but life goes on and the more I get thrown at me, the more I fight back.

Good question, as knowledge is power and that helps with keeping on top of things as we are always learning :cool:

Best wishes RRB:)

Oh my, all I've got is diabetes. After reading these posts, I am very fortunate that's all I have to worry about and won't dare to feel sorry for myself anymore.

Hello bells - I need to add another 5 to my list. I don't worry too much about them as there is nothing that I can do about them - just manage what I can with help from professionals. Life is still so, so good.

Think it also helps to be a stubborn old bat with a rather sick sense of humour - well that's what does it for me!! :). Sue xx
