Following your type 1 diagnosis which other autoimmune conditions did you go on to develop?
 
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.
 
Diabetes, under active thyroid, Addison's disease, coeliac, and being investigated for MS. Besides that am fit and healthy :)
 
Hypothyroidism too, I take levothyroxine daily, there is a connection to other auto immune conditions, is this why you are asking ?
 
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.

type1 43 years

pre-proliferative diabetic retinopathy with previos early maculopathy, hypogylcaemia with altered awareness,
previous radioactive iodene theraphy for graves' thyrotoxicosis, median nerve mononeuropathy
 
Only complication so far has been diabetic retinopathy, been treatment free for around 11 years now although still have to attend regular appointments at the Ophthalmology Clinic.
 
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!
 
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 .
 
hypothyroidism, endometriosis (suspect that could be genetic though...though...also suspect my d is genetic. far too many of us have it...),
 
Hypothyroidism, Lupus SLE, sjogrens and raynauds (whilst not autoimmune also have epilepsy which they say goes hand in hand with diabetes but who knows!)
 
Hypothyroidism, Addisons disease and pernicious anaemia.
