Default RSD and MG

I am being evaluated for psoriatic arthristis and Myasthenia Gravis. Also I have RSD diagnosed 25 years ago that has been in remission for 15 years. Now I am reading that they think RSD is autoimmune too. I had a tumor removed from my thyroid 30 years ago, they left half my thyroid. They removed 2 parathyroids too. My TSH has been up and down for years. I often wondered if I had Hashimoto's thyroiditis. They only tested me for thyroid antibodies once and they were negative.

I keep wondering if the RSD, thyroid and MG are all related. They have very similar symptoms. Has anyone been told by their doctor that RSD may be autoimmune? Does anyone here have RSD and MG?

Hi .. I have seen reports saying that RSD/CRPS. is , or should I say creates autoimmune disease. It makes sense. the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves being what they are and all. the immune system is directly linked to both.
