Yes, I believe it is. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis along with a constellation of other auto immune disorders like CREST Syndrome and PBC.

Hi there, Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, as is Psoriatic arthritis, and you can get inflammatory arthritis as part of autoimmune connective tissue disorders like Scleroderma, lupus, and sjogrens. Osteoarthritis in its many forms is not an autoimmune condition.

Hope that helps.
