I’m in the same boat: 72 and long history of autoimmune issues but no definitive diagnosis. Autoimmune hearing loss 30 yrs ago, joint pain/swelling, skin rashes, vertigo, GI issues, arthritis, and now uveitis; it’s exhausting and also limits what I want to do; best wishes to you in your ongoing battle! Just know you are not alone.

I would be interested to know more about your autoimmune hearing loss, I am headed to the ENT tomorrow morning to have a tube put in one ear, the eardrum is severely retracted. I have a positive ANA and HLA-b27 and elevated CCP. My symptoms have the doctor thinking along the lines of ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis and/or connective tissue disorder. I've had serious issues with my ears for years, they now think it's related and I am beginning the process of looking into that.
