It's quite common for people with lupus to develop additional autoimmune conditions. Your immune system can become overactive, causing your body to produce antibodies that can attack your own immune system. This can make you more susceptible to various health challenges.

Many MyLupusTeam members have shared similar experiences with having multiple autoimmune conditions. It's important to work closely with your rheumatology team to manage both conditions effectively. Since you're dealing with both lupus and APS, it's especially important to:

• Keep all your medical appointments
• Report any new symptoms to your healthcare team
• Follow your prescribed treatment plan carefully
• Stay in regular communication with your specialists

Remember that your healthcare providers can help adjust your treatment plan as needed to manage both conditions effectively.
