Who Else Has an Autoimmune Disease?

[LightPhoenix]

I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which is not nearly as bad as any of the other autoimmune diseases stated so far. The only weird thing about my case is I was 25 when it became noticeable, and am male (last I checked). Typically it affects women over the age of 40.

I just watched a TV show where the woman on it (who was 25) had been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. I'd never heard of it before then.

Heh, neither had I.

It's not debilitating, unless left untreated. I just have to take pill every day - that's nothing. I kind of have the sissy disease in the thread.

I was telling a friend the other day that if I get another autoimmune disease that it better be one where the meds come in pill form. I feel like a junkie with all of the time I have to inject myself.

I would be perfectly happy having only to take a single pill to control a disease. I get tired of taking all the ones I have to (on top of the chemo).

I really respect and admire everyone's strength in this thread. I have some early signs of glaucoma (possibly weakening of the optic nerve in my right eye).

I also suffer from sleep apnea. But that's it.
