autoimmune disorders/lupus? | Autism PDD
I have psoriasis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, RA...they think the list will get longer with my age 
What about fibromyalgia?
"Unfortunately, because so little is known about fibromyalgia, many patients are often misdiagnosed. Every year, thousands of fibromyalgia sufferers are actually diagnosed with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disorder."

just a note to let ya know.......
eosiniphilic disease......thats what my lil boy has and its closest to lupas and chromes
thanks jeremy
I have mixed connective tissue disease. That is something that they kinda put together because you have some of the symptoms of lupas but no enough. I have Raynauds which is a circulation disorder and when it is cold out my hands and feet turn purple and everybody goes, ewwww! can't do nothing about that just keep them warm. When I was 22 I had alot of joint pain especially in my feet when I would wake up in the morning I could barely walk. I started taking Ansaid which is a Anti-inflammatory. When they tested me my blood showed that my ANA levels were elevated and that my blood was speckled. For some reason all my joint pain went away with age , By the time I was 26 , 27 it was gone. My hands still swell a little. So the only symptoms I have now are the Raynauds (circulation), My ANA is always elevated but no where near where it would be for Lupus. and I have Reflux and Migranes which Auto-immune disorders can cause but it might not be because of that. You have to have 4 symptoms of Lupus to be diagnosed with it. I think one of the main things is a butterfly rash that either goes across your face , meaning your cheeks and nose or on your legs. I know auto immune disorders ahve been brought up before, but I am in the process of getting tested for lupus, and I have hashimotos......anyone familiar with lupus? I also read in people magazine about a autoimmune disorder that is similar to lups but it didnt name it specificly. Does anyone know of any similar to lups? Thanks...Heidi I have a family hx of lupus - aka SLE.ETA - if you go to wrongdiagnosis.com it will list a lot of stuff maybe something will ring a bell...
