Could it all be connected to an autoimmune problem?

Look about half way down the page in this one: http://www.mic.ki.se/Diseases/C20.html#C20.111.197

And here is one I found: http://www.neuroland.com/cvd/aps.htm
And down the page to other symptoms: http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2136.htm

My thinking is that this is related to autoimmune problems.
