Hi @kidsmomof9, you'll notice that I moved your messages to this existing discussion called "Multiple autoimmune diseases" that @denadet started last year. Simily click VIEW & REPLY to scroll through past messages.

@gingerw @oldkarl and @kidsmomof9, you might find this article from Johns Hopkins as interesting as I did.
- Disease Development: How do autoimmune diseases unfold? https://pathology.jhu.edu/autoimmune/development

It states that "Three factors are at play in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases: genes, immune system, and the environment where the patient lives."
And
"Autoimmune diseases tend to occur in the same family (the so-called "familial aggregation)".

KidsMomof9 (do you have 9 kids?) Let me know if you'd like to find other discussions to connect with members who have the same conditions as you.

Yep! 9 kids! Thank you for helping direct me to the multiple autoimmune disease area. I am very interested in hearing about other issues along the same lines! I am finding out that our life of business as usual is rather bizarre to most people. It can only help to hear from people in similar situations. Thank you!
