I have Bullous Pemphigoid and have been diagnosed with CLL. I was wondering if that has happened to anyone else.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

@labcoris When i first read your post, I was very puzzled! But, then, I looked it up and found that there is defineatly (?) a correlation between the two. I will find out if any other members have this same issue and I’ll have them join our conversation. There are several discussions on Bullous pemphegoid so you may wish to look them up yourself

To do a search, go to the top of the page where the discussions start and tap on autoimmune group until you reach the main page with list of discussion. Then on the left side you will see a search box. Enter ‘Bullous pemphigoid” and it will bring us all the discussions.
How long have you had Bullous pemphigoid?
