[jimeka in reply to BlanketTime1]

Such a long list but they missed one! Collagenous colitis. I have it.

hope it's not 1 in 7 billion humans. thank you for mentioning it.

I can only imagine the one-of-a-kind autoimmune disorders that have not yet been fully discovered and registered.

I wish there were more awareness about people being in a state of high inflammations which I believe is a strong indicator of a brewing autoimmune disorder. In the 5 years prior to being diagnosed with MS, I developed:

- allergies (never had any allergies in 45 years)

- rosacea

- itching

- brain fog

and a bunch of other stuff. I wish my PCP had realized I was under inflammatory overload.

Much progress to be made on detection !

oh my,brain overload, i believe it is all wrapped up in our environment(air,water etc) and our genes on which one!!I have 10 family members with different auto immune,which i think just put me out there.
