Systemic lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Colitis, Secondary adrenal insufficiency (severe) and uveitis occasionally crops up. RA seems to be the worst issue because I stay away from the sun due to lupus. But honestly, it all sucks and I am never pain free. I walk like a toddler, my energy level is pathetic, I eat only once a day. I'm 69 years old and the whole autoimmune thing began in my teens when I was a lifeguard.
