Secondary DXs?

I'm curious...how many of you out there have more than one autoimmune issue?

I currently have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Palmar Plantar Pustular Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Alopecia Universalis, and now Pyoderma Gangrenosum...I would care for no more and I've about had it! Anyone else dealing with anything like this? I'm trying to keep my head up but I've been having some bad days lately. I'm 31 with 4 kids 9 and under so I don't have time for a pity party! ;)

Sorry you are going through so much. I have other autoimmune stuff, but so far it all falls into the pretty benign category: hypothyroidism, vitiligo and alopecia. I sometimes worry that eventually my immune system will come up with something debilitating, but until then I try to appreciate being "healthy."

I had lichen schlerosis after I had my daughter but it went away eventually. I have hypothyroidism also diagnosed in my early 20s. I have had alopecia since age 3

I hate to hear that.  Doctors say that when you have one autoimmune disease your more than likely to get another unless we get the autoimmune thing under control. I read a book "The GLUTEN CONNECTION'     and Living with Autoimmune Diease"  by Mary  J  Solomon.  these books helped me get a better understanding of this disease.and a youtube channel by Dr. David Clark.
