Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi, I'm reading the current discussions with interest. I have rheumatoid arthritis in addition to my possible celiac disease. This is a very different issue than the glandular auto-immune disorder being discussed, but RA is also an auto-immune disease. I have secondary problems related to the RA (chronic dry eye syndrome and gastroparesis) which can also be considered auto-immune problems. I know a number of friends who also have auto-immune issues, and face multiple significant health problems, sometimes other auto-immune problems in addition to the first one. It seems to me that once our immune systems get out of whack, it is pretty common for other problems to arise, as hard as it is. I wish it weren't that way! Sometimes I wonder in which way(s) it could all be connected. My guess is that there will be more research into these things as time goes by; I think in many ways, medical science is still in the early stages of studying auto-immune functions. I think there is much more to learn. I am thinking of you and wishing you all the best with the issues you face, and I wish everyone the best here in our group....
