I'm a 27-year old female. In the last 10 years I've been diagnosed with Raynauds Syndrome, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Crohn's Disease, and Lichens Sclerosis. What are the odds of finding out that I've got more autoimmune disorders?!?! :dizzy:

Wow, that is a lot...have you heard of Lupus? There is a possibility that you have one thing that shows as many...I'm not an expert but Lupus has a long checklist of things that must be satisfied before a formal diagnosis is made but it is pretty comprehensive. Check out Lupus.org for more info on it.

My best friend has it and it affects multiple systems of her body...just a thought.

Hope you find some answers.

Best,
rosie

I've heard that many people with one autoimmune disorder develop more of them with time... Myself? I have enteropathic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, uveitis, and am now being examined for MS. I have fibro too, but thats debatable as an autoimmune disease. Another example is that 1 in 22 type 1 diabetics have celiac disease (or develop it), so autoimmune diseases seem to stem from one another.

It's very common...I have Sjogrens, Lupus, Raynauds, RA..many of us have overlapp, which seems to be even harder to treat unfortuntely
