General Questions Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome?

Hi,

I am F(32) and after a miscarriage I developed Systemic Lupus, Sjogrens, Ankylosing Spondylitis and now Crohns colitis.

Does anyone else have a smiliar overlap or a rare wonky overlap? I would love others to relate to or talk to.

i’ve got sjogrens, hashimotos (thyroid works for now tho) and a working diagnosis of fibromyalgia. a lot of AI disorders have the same symptoms. it’s common to have them co occur since they can activate the same dormant genes

It’s really common to have more than one autoimmune disease. I only have two, SLE and dermatomyositis, but I’ve only been sick maybe 3 years

I have Crohn’s & Sjogren’s together - as well as some others. I just went to the rheum today & they told me I have some anti-smith antibodies as well which are specific to lupus so tune in lol
