Hi, I am new to this. I am living with my wife who has 3 autoimmune deficiencies. She has psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, and Haji Moto thyroidism. Now her organs are wanting to shut down from. All the biological injections from the past 6 years. Now the doctor is saying she could have bone loss. She is constantly sick. I want to be a better husband and to help her with all this. Its caused marital problems. I just don't know what to do. Please help

Hi! Sorry everything is so challenging right now.
First, Autoimmune diseases are difficult because they can mask what the symptoms mean and everyone is different.
Your wife needs to find an endocrinologist for her Hashimoto’s disease, if it is truly Hashimoto’s, there are a few drugs that will work well, for example, Levothyroxine, Tirosint, etc. Once your wife is on the correct dosage it will make a difference, the same for the bone loss which again there are great drugs to reverse this, speaking from my experience as my bone loss has been reversed, Thank God.
The priority is getting the correct physicians, primarily Endocrinologist and Primary Care or Internist on board to start. A good Dr will run testing and with results in hand, start appropriate treatment immediately.
Also, if possible, attend appointments with your wife so you can ask questions to fully understand the results and treatment therapy. Will be praying for you both.
