Is B12 pernicious anemia? Is AIHA autoimmune hemolytic anemia?

I have myxodema (under active thyroid) which is a type of immune disorder.

I was diagnosed with WG at the age of 36. I first developed Vitiligo at the age of 19. This was not unexpected as my Mother had a number of autoimmune 'issues' throughout here life. At the age of 46 I went on to develop an over active thyroid which was fixed by Carbimazole.

I have luekocytoclastic vasculitis and I have developed Vit B12 deficiency, calcium deficiency and Vitamin D deficiency, so I have injections for the first and tablets for the other 2. I also got Raynauds and Cryofibrinogenaemia which came on after the LV daignosis.
