A member asked:
Is it possible to have more than one autoimmune disease at the same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Autoimmune illness is a process that can affect any organ in the body. The cause seems to be a combination of genetics and the environmental triggers, so often times these illnesses are clustered. For a great patient educational and advocacy group, see aarda: http://www.Aarda.Org/.
