I have mild psoriasis. I had markers for thyroid and rheumatoid arthritis when they did my LP, but so far thyroid testing has been normal except during my first flare (had hypertyroidism for about 3 months). My knees generally kill me, but I think that it is just regular arthritis.

Interesting topic! Besides being SPMS, I also have arthritis, sebhorrhea (sp?), fibromyalgia and now atrial fibrillation probably as a result of the MS. I almost forgot depression, but I don't know if that's a separate thing or part of everything else???? Guess we're just lucky......NOT!!!!

If so, count me in on this one as well.

Supposedly I have/ had Graves Disease. I say supposedly. in 99 I was hospitalized b/c my overactive thyroid caused my heart to beat so fast that they thought I was going to have a heart attack.

The funny thing is, after I had DD I did the rdioactive iodine treatment that was supposed to kill my thyroid, now 4 yrs later, I have not been on thyroid meds for 3 years and my levels are still testing at a normal range. So i dunno.

What is psoriasis?

It's a skin condition. I've had some problems with that occasionally. (either that or it was seborrhea)

Here's a link with some good info:

They say fibro is not an autoimmune disease but something is attacking my body right now :Sigh:

Besides MS and all its symptoms I have--Atrial Fibrillation,Fibro,
Arthritis, had a hysterectomy because of endometriosis,acid reflux disease
diverticulitis, COPD, High Colesterol, had a blockage cleared near heart

Ooo putting all together like that just makes me feel sicker :eek:

With the MS and all the other problems it scares me, "what is really
going to happen to me"

I just have to keep my FAITH stronger that it will get me through.
