In addition to T1D, how many other autoimmune diseases do you have?

I also have Hashimoto’s, which seems to be pretty common among those with Type 1.
Hashimoto’s and celiac
One is enough!
Thyroid disease—diagnosed about 10 years after 1976 Type 1 diagnosis. Have been taking levothyroxine ever since.
4
65+ a few years T1 without any other issues.
70
At least 4 autoimmune diseases, plus T1D. It’s good to be alive.
Iām surprised others donāt tend to have more! I have had 4 autoimmune diseases but fortunately T1 is the only major one currently. Two could be treated successfully. I have Scandinavian heritage which I know is prone to autoimmune issues.
Celiac
0. But I test positive for 1 of 2 genes tested that are associated with celiac.
Celiac
Gravesā disease with TED
Skin lupus
I have Celiac Disease, Autoimmune Leukopenia, Alopecia, and the way my thyroid blood test are going I’m sure Hashimoto’s Disease soon. And of course the piĆØce de rĆ©sistance Type 1
Graves Disease
I said 0 because “How would I know” wasn’t an answer option.
I was diagnosed with IBSDC (Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea and Constipation) in 2017 and I have been told both that it IS another autoimmune disease and that it ISN’T anything autoimmune related, so I have been unable to get any definite answer whether my autoimmune disease count stands at 1 or if it should be increased to 2.
One IS enough, but my second one, now that the thyroid has been removed, just means one pill a day, and no diet circus involved :*) ! Hard not to love Graves Disease!
Fibromyalgia, autoimmune hepatitis, T1D, hypothyroid, IGA~, psoriasis, kidney disease.
In addition to
T1D, just dx with psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia.
No others that I’m aware of. The low thyroid I was dx with in 2005 was not considered autoimmune.
1 more = Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and enteropathic arthritis.
I have been on levothyroxine for about 47 years for my low thyroid which came on about 2-3 years after being diagnosed with T1. Not sure if I have ever heard of Hiroshimoto disease being mentioned for me though. I’ll have to check my medical records to see if my low thyroid is Hiroshimotos or not.
All my medical records say hypothyroidism, not Hashimoto disease
Old age !!
Hypothyroid, rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo. Doing fine
Dang! With so many mortality and comorbidities associated with the diabetic condition, I scored zero on this one. ā®(āÆ_ā°)ā
I feel like I just swung the sledge hammer and rang the bell. Whoo-hoo! c( O.O )É
I had a goiter removed when I was 15 or so (am 65 now), and been on thyroid pills ever since. Was Dx’d w/T1D when I was 58. Tried to get my goiter records, but learned they had been destroyed long ago. Might not have been called Hashimoto’s back then, but those are my symptoms.
I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, microscopic colitis, epilepsy due to extremely high GAD 65 antibodies. Autoimmune conditions run in my mother’s family, and I am grateful not to have more of them.
Rheumatoid arthritis.
Within the last 10 years I have been diagnosed with two other autoimmune diseases. First, Ulcerative Colitis and more recently, Psoriasis.
An endoscopy revealed I have gluten intolerance.
Gluten intolerance = celiac disease. And I forgot my minor arthritis is also auto-immune. If you count occasional pollen allergies as autoimmune, then Iāve got 3 autoimmune diseases in addition to T1D.
Graves’ disease
I was diagnosed with Graves’disease and T1D almost at the same time in 1995 and nowćdon’t need any medicine for Gravesādisease.
