A member asked:
If an autoimmune disease is causing hand issues will the same fingers on each hand be affected? or just both hands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: To the first question--not necessarily. To the second question---it depends on the type of autoimmune disease as seronegative spondyloarthritis can be asymmetric.
