Like @A MyLupusTeam Member said, it is very possible that once you have one autoimmune disease you can get others. Mine started with Raynaud's, then I was diagnosed with lupus, fibromylgia, RA, inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis and rupus. Take care of yourself and let your doctor know if there are any changes.

Sure wouldn't hurt. It seems that if we one autoimmune we are like magnets for others.

Yep. If you get one autoimmune disease, chances you will get another. Take care. 🥰🦋🙏

Yes, I would get checked. Lots of people with lupus also have Sjogren's or Raynauds.
