I've only read the last post, so far, lots more to go. :)<br /><br />Here's more for your list: <br />Scleroderma<br />vasculitis<br />Inclusion body myositis<br /><br />I'm diagnosed with MCTD - a nice blend of the rare ones: Sjogren's, Scleroderma, Polymyositis, ... not even sure about lupus.

Wow! You for sure seem like you have a genetic link. There are no others in my family with these types of problems that I have developed so I am not sure how I wound up with all of what I currently own :-) And I couldn't agree with you more, I wish that more and more research would finally come up with some cures for some these autoimmune diseases.Deb aka AbcsOfrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619087592028571941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148674654584849237.post-24312584112207631812011-09-25T10:28:18.590-07:002011-09-25T10:28:18.590-07:00Deb,

And Hashimoto's, which appears to be healing with the gluten-free diet.<br /><br />I have two children with celiac and RA, and I have siblings with Graves and Addisons, and a cousin with Myashtenia Gravis, so there seems to be some genetic component to this, too. My paternal grandmother was Hypothyroid, and pretty sure my maternal grandmother had Celiac. The Celiac genes are on both sides of the family tree, as I have two copies! <br /><br />Just wish there was more money going into research for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148674654584849237.post-37803208306740917322011-09-23T17:42:59.690-07:002011-09-23T17:42:59.690-07:00Tammy...thanks for the additional ones.

And what gets my goat is once you get one autoimmune disease...well more seem to move right on in. <br /><br />Wren...and tendonitis has been a real bummer for me from the get go. Sometimes I think the tendon issues are worse for me than the ra issues but who can really tell the difference. Like which came first, the chicken or the egg :-)Deb aka AbcsOfrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619087592028571941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148674654584849237.post-32895218814748101212011-09-23T09:00:16.392-07:002011-09-23T09:00:16.392-07:00And then there are the conditions that walk hand-i...And then there are the conditions that walk hand-in-hand with RA, like bursitis. I've been battling that particular beastie, where it's taken up residence in the bursae of both hips, for more than a year now.

This is a very good post you put up today and it needs to be known that being dx'ed with lupus or ra or whatever, just gives "IT" title. It's ALL AUTO-IMMUNE-DISORDER's.
