[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 637763, member: 2964"] As well as Type 1 Diabetes, I have vitiligo and alopecia areata.I have also been told I am on the borderline of having hypothyroidism. Currently, I have a bad dose of glandular fever and was hospitalised for a week. Since home I have done quite a bit of research and it seems the Epstein Barr Virus (which causes glandular fever) is not a good thing for those with auto-immune diseases to get. It increases the chances of getting M.S. (which I knew was in my 'group' of auto-immune diseases anyway but chances now increased even more) and also because of the EBV, I have increased chance of getting some cancers,like Hodgkins Lymphoma. I had no clue up until now about this and it's left me feeling a bit blue but I'm sure I shall bounce back.I've told hubby I want us to get some good holidays in and just enjoy each and every day. There's no point in worrying about things that 'might' happen. I too have an inquisitive mind, so I've only myself to blame if I don't like what I find out but I also believe in doing as much to look after myself as possible, so researching for me is something that I have to do.
