Default Familial Autoimmunity
Hey guys!

Curious to know if anyone else here has family members who suffer from other autoimmune diseases. It's rampant in my family!

Dad-- Dermatomyositis and psoriasis
Dad's sister-- Hashimoto's thyroiditis
mom-- Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and pernicious anemia
mom's bro-- Congenital celiac's disease
mom's sister- Diabetes and arthritis
mom's other sis- oopharitis (not sure about the spelling, autoimmune attack on ovaries)

Wow...I've never listed it that way before...Kinda startling

Also, does anyone here have additional autoimmune diseases on top of the MG? I have antibodies to my thyroid, ANA and anti-dsdna, but no diagnosis, just inexplicable joint pain/inflammation.

Sorry to pry!
