Raise your hand if you have Multiple Autoimmune Diseases. I have noticed that a lot people here have more than just Alopecia. I myself have Alopecia Areata, Crohn’s Disease, Psoriasis, and some form of Arthritis not yet diagnosed.

Hi all, I am new to AW but have had AU for over 20 years. I also have eczema and arthritis. I am always tested for lupus because my numbers are always high. Also I was wondering how many of you have been told your white blood cell count has to do…Continue

Interesting enough, I have also been diagnosed with rhematoid (excuse spelling) arthritis as well as kidney issues along with alopecia. Doctors have recently told me that these links classify me as having lupus. Pretty Crazy

Hi all, I'm just coming out of a fatigue state. Seems I travel along pretty good considering and then whammo I get hit with this fatigue that just wipes me out. I hate it. I've always had energy to burn and I see what's left of my "energetic years"…Continue

This is one honor I would rather not own anyway Devin. They also think I might have some other autoimmune issues going on. They are all related in some way-it's a vicious cycle. Funny you would use the Grinch here...I LOVE him and imitate him all the time. "Get me my coat Max!"

Alright I have people in my group!!! Yeah I love that picture of the Grinch too, he looks like he has Multiple Autoimmune Diseases doesn’t he? Connie I’m sorry to hear that about your son. As soon as I was diagnosed with Crohns I started to have the Psoriasis, and Arthritis. My Doctors said there is a connection. I hope it is not the case for him. That’s a lot for such a young kid.
I started this group thinking no one would top me I have four Autoimmune Diseases, but Chefpam Im not sure if chronic fatigue is Autoimmune We’ll have to get a ruling from the judges, but we could have a new champion. (Just pretend like a lot of confetti was shot out into the air right now.)

What a perfect group for me to join! Hi to all of you. I have alopecia unknown, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, fibro, and chronic fatigue. Some days it's more than I can take...today is one of them.

My son has Alopecia and Ulcerative Colitis (although Dr. may be changing the diagnosis to Crohns). He's also been complaining about his shoulders hurting and since my daughter was just diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis we're afraid that's what he's starting to see too.

Ha - I also love the grinch picture- says it all! :) I have two autoimmune conditions... AA and hashimoto's! woo hoo... lucky duck! ;) Was diagnosed with them both about 20 years ago. Knocking on wood that nothing else gets added to the list!
