Default avoiding other autoimmune diseases

Many of us here have another autoimmune disease besides MG. I have Graves disease (under good control, not an issue right now). I am afraid of coming down with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus or MS in the future.

My neurologist says that even if the Imuran sends me into full remission, it might be a good idea to stay on it, because many patients relapse after they go off it. As long as I'm tolerating it, I plan to stay on it in the hopes of avoiding these other diseases. But I'd like to ask: what else can I do to help my body resist more autoimmune diseases? Are there special nutritional needs involved here? I know I need vitamin D3. What else? Thanks.

woke up this morning with aching hands. Thought, here we go, it's RA. I'm that paranoid. Then my husband reminded me that I spent yesterday wrestling with hardening melted white chocolate that I was trying to pipe into fancy designs for my son's birthday cake.
