@antonieta71 Hey, I’m glad you found Mayo Connect! We’re not doctors here so we can’t diagnose your problem. From what I’ve read, it is a genetic condition, not an autoimmune disease. Did your doctor refer you to a specialist who can diagnose you more in depth? Here is a link that can provide more information:

Did your doctor start you on any treatment?
