M.A.D. (Multiple Autoimmune Diseases)

Raise your hand if you have Multiple Autoimmune Diseases. I have noticed that a lot people here have more than just Alopecia. I myself have Alopecia Areata, Crohn’s Disease, Psoriasis, and some form of Arthritis not yet diagnosed.

Interesting enough, I have also been diagnosed with rhematoid (excuse spelling) arthritis as well as kidney issues along with alopecia. Doctors have recently told me that these links classify me as having lupus. Pretty Crazy

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.
