My sis is following this post and I'd like to also! I've been DX'd with APS/Hughes Syndrome in October 2015! Thyroid problems go hand in hand with APS! My sis has had thyroid problems for a few years! When I was DX'd with APS I asked her to get tested and she also came up positive for APS! Since we r sisters I wanted her to know if she had it! Since October I've been DX'd with RA/Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sojerns! I'm going to ask one of my docs to do proper thyroid testing! I find this post very helpful and informative! I'm from the USA and we have nothing like this! Thank you!

I am sorry you have multiple autoimmune conditions and it is said that if we have one, we can develop others.

I was interested in Hughes Syndrome and one of our members knows quite a lot about this autoimmune condition. If you would like to send her a private message this is the link. You just click on your name on the top line and click on the down arrow and pick message.
