Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'm setting up a poll for this topic. I'll limit it to the following 25 conditions. According to posts (that I've noticed), members have reported the following autoimmune diseases: PSC UC Crohn's AIH 's disease Ankylosing spondylitis (Spondyloarthropathy) Asthma Autoimmune pancreatitis Celiac Endometriosis Fibromyalgia Gilbert's syndrome Graves' disease Hypothroidism Juvenile diabetes Lupus Multiple Sclerosis PBC Polyarteritis nodosa Psoriasis Raynauds phenomenon Rheumatroid arthritis Sjogren's syndrome Uveitis I can add 5 more if someone expresses a specific interest. Some interesting data - ~80% of those in the US with autoimmune diseases are women. The National Health Institute estimates 23.5 million people in the US suffer from autoimmune diseases (approximately 8%). This is a list of autoimmune diseases, according to the American Autoimmune Relate Disease Association. Obviously, PSC isn't listed (I sent them a note). http://www.aarda.org/ Acute necrotizing hemorrhagic leukoencephalitisv 's disease Agammaglobulinemia Allergic asthma Allergic rhinitis Alopecia areata Amyloidosis Ankylosing spondylitis Anti-GBM/Anti-TBM nephritis Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) Autoimmune aplastic anemia Autoimmune dysautonomia Autoimmune hepatitis Autoimmune hyperlipidemia Autoimmune immunodeficiency Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) Autoimmune myocarditis Autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ATP) Axonal & neuronal neuropathies Balo disease Behcet’s disease Bullous pemphigoid Cardiomyopathy Castleman disease Celiac sprue (nontropical) Chagas disease Chronic fatigue syndrome Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) Churg-Strauss syndrome Cicatricial pemphigoid/benign mucosal pemphigoid Crohn’s disease Cogans syndrome Cold agglutinin disease Congenital heart block sackie myocarditis CREST disease Essential mixed cryoglobulinemia Demyelinating neuropathies Dermatomyositis Devic disease Discoid lupus Dressler’s syndrome Endometriosis Eosinophilic fasciitis Erythema nodosum Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis syndrome Fibromyalgia** Fibrosing alveolitis Giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis) Goodpasture’s syndrome Graves' disease Guillain-Barre syndrome Hashimoto’s disease Hemolytic anemia Henoch-Schonlein purpura Herpes gestationis Hypogammaglobulinemia Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) IgA nephropathy Immunoregulatory lipoproteins Inclusion body myositis Insulin-dependent diabetes (type1) Interstitial cystitis Juvenile arthritis Juvenile diabetes Kawasaki syndrome Lambert-Eaton syndrome Leukocytoclastic vasculitis Lichen planus Lichen sclerosus Ligneous conjunctivitis Linear IgA disease (LAD) Lupus (SLE) Lyme disease Meniere’s disease Microscopic polyangiitis Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) n’s ulcer Mucha-Habermann disease Multiple sclerosis Myasthenia gravis Myositis Narcolepsy Neutropenia Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid Osteoarthritis Palindromic rheumatism Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) Parsonnage- syndrome Pars planitis (peripheral uveitis) Pemphigus Peripheral neuropathy Perivenous encephalomyelitis Pernicious anemia POEMS syndrome Polyarteritis nodosa Type I, II, & III autoimmune polyglandular syndromes Polymyalgia rheumatica Polymyositis Postmyocardial infarction syndrome Postpericardiotomy syndrome Progesterone dermatitis Primary biliary cirrhosis Psoriasis Psoriatic arthritis Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Pyoderma gangrenosum Pure red cell aplasia Raynauds phenomenon Reflex sympathetic dystrophy Reiter’s syndrome Relapsing polychondritis Restless legs syndrome Rheumatic fever Rheumatoid arthritis Sarcoidosis Schmidt syndrome Scleritis Scleroderma Sjogren's syndrome Sperm & testicular autoimmunity Stiff person syndrome Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) Sympathetic ophthalmia Takayasu’s arteritis Temporal arteritis/Giant cell arteritis Thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) Autoimmune thyroid disease Tolosa-Hunt syndrome Transverse myelitis & necrotizing myelopathy Ulcerative colitis Undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) Uveitis Vasculitis Vesiculobullous dermatosis Vitiligo Wegener’s granulomatosis Arne 57 - UC 1977 - PSC 2000 Alive and well in Minnesota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
