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 .
Hi Daphne917I'm Type 2 but have Hypothyroidism and have been treated for Uvietis an eye problem that could be autoimmune.
Good to hear you have a remission, i was under the impression that it could burn out completely, as it did with a close relative. Were you older when you developed it? 2 of my relatives developed it when they were older, and i understood that it was one of the autoimmune diseases that becomes much more common in older age groupsDeveloped polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) about 7 years ago, which took nearly a full year to diagnose before treatment. Thankfully, now have been off the corticosteroid treatment for over 3 years (remission, yay!).
Oral Lichen Planus. That came 2 years before. If sugar levels are running high it makes the Planus flare up.
I was 54 at diagnosis, so quite young for PMR. It can burn out. The steroid is really just to make life tolerable in the meantime and my steroid dose was low, too, as it can raise BG but it still did the job.Good to hear you have a remission, i was under the impression that it could burn out completely, as it did with a close relative.

I developed lupus and Crohn'sFollowing your type 1 diagnosis which other autoimmune conditions did you go on to develop?
