Kat, I have dry eyes, too! I think the technical term for autoimmune eye issues is "iritis". I use Alrex and Lotemax eye drops as needed. Since they're steroid drops, I try to use them sparingly.

Good morning everyone. Went to my Optometrist yesterday for dry eyes that have been getting worse for about a month. I saw him in December nad he told me that i have some scratching on my cornea ( the clear covering of the eye) since December my eyes have started burning and get tired eyes everyday. I have Sjrogen's symdrome along with the AA, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Grave's Disease ( hyperthyroid) and something else the Dr's can't yet pinpoint - thinking it's Fibromyalgia.
I found out that Sjogren's, AA and Grave's can have a negative effect on your tear production thus affecting your eye's. I have been put on two different eye drops.I have to go back in two weeks for him to see if my cornea looks any better.
Don't know if any of you have the same issues but though I'd let people know. Take Care and Happy Saturday. Kat

I'll join in the fun and say that I have AU, Hashimoto's, lupus, and intracranial hypertension (which may or may not be because of the autoimmune stuff, just not sure).

Hi - it's good tonsee this group for support - but a lot I was bot aware of too - my daughter 8 and I 38 both have alopecia and hashimito disease - both auto immune related as you can tell - however my biggest concern is my daughter being so young to already have two which both developed in the last 6 months - I was 12 when I lost all my hair and 30 when I developed hashimioto - I am interested as what age others developed their other autoimmune diseases :)

Hey Gia Welcome! A lot of people here have 3, 4, 5 or even more Autoimmune diseases so Im sure somebody here has vitiligo, Im sorry that you have to deal with both of those conditions. I feel the same way because I also have bad psoriasis which looks pretty gross along with the AA and it’s made me pretty self conscious about it. I think I will start a Forum above and just list my name and my autoimmune diseases and let everyone else do the same and that way people can quickly find someone that can relate to their condition. It’s nice to talk to someone with the same problem.

Hi everyone,
I am new to the site. I have AA and vitiligo. Send me a message if you have vitiligo as well. Crazy rollercoaster getting 2 autoimmune diseases that affect my appearance at the same time. Hoping to find others who understand or even have vitiligo as well. Thanks for starting this group.
