Autoimmune poll update

[Guest guest]

Of the 37 people who have responded so far (I assume 37 is the total):

%

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) 62%

Crohn's 11%

Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) 11%

Ankylosing spondylitis 3%

Asthma 14%

Endometriosis 3%

Fibromyalgia 8%

Grave's Disease 3%

Hypothyroidism 5%

Multiple Sclerosis 3%

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) 3%

Psoriasis 3%

Raynauds phenomenon 5%

Rheumatroid Arthritis 8%

Sjogren's syndrome 3%

Uveitis 3%

Other (post it, if you're willing) 14%

Even if you don't have any other autoimmune diseases, just check the PSC bullet.

Sorry about the incorrect acronym for PBC (it's correct above) - can't fix it without losing all the poll results.

That would interest me, too. I have sarcoidosis, my several cousins and

two uncles have various rheumatic diseases. My son's paternal

grandmother has vitiligo and thyroid disease (do not remember the

correct name to it).
