Overlap conditions

[Dumpypug]

Hi everyone

I'm new to this, cant believe ive only just found it!

I was wondering if anyone has SLE with Dermatomyositis overlap.

I have both and I struggling to figure out which symptom goes with which condition and which one is more active??

Thanks

Hi dumpypug, one of the ladies at my lupus UK support group has both of these conditions too. Christine Miserandino of the 'But You Don't Look Sick' website says lupus never comes to the party alone. Which is a good way of putting it, don't you think.

As you've no doubt seen on here, most people has over lapping auto-immune conditions, the most common ones with lupus seem to be Raynauds syndrome & Sjogrens syndrome. Although there are many other possibilities. Mr Lupus likes to keep us on our toes, doesn't he!
