How many autoimmune diseases can you have?

Posted by sallysworld73 @sallysworld73, Feb 28 12:51pm

I have just been given my 8th autoimmune diagnosis. For the love of GOD 🙏🏻 how many can one person have? It’s exhausting 😴 to say the least. And they’re all rare ones . Go figure. And no one in my family has them but they tell me that it’s hereditary. I read it’s extremely rarely for ppl to have over 5 …. Really….well lucky 🍀 lucky me! 🙄 does Mayo Clinic ever do consulting on a pro-bono basis? I’m quite positive they don’t take my insurance….🫤

I am so so sad for your daughter. For children it's especially cruel & unfair for them to have to deal with rotten health from the very young age of just being a child. We will never know why some people go through life relatively unscathed while others get more than their fair share of disease & disability. It's unexplainable. It's just the luck of the draw. Much love to your dear daughter. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We believe she was born with it, and had episodes throughout her childhood. She is actually a 49 year old woman now and finally was properly diagnosed about 5 years ago. She is doing really well these days.
