Autoimmune Disorders.
Hi folks,
I'm wondering if any of you have any other autoimmune disorders/disease etc.
I'm off for some bloods in a few weeks to test me for arthritis and few other things as I have sudden swelling in joint and muscles in my hands and feet.
I also have strange allergic reactions to things when my skin will break out in sometimes massive welts and hives. I thought it was certain plastics but I'm not to sure.
On top of that there is some thought I may have ehlers-danlos syndrome due to having hyper mobility in my joint and spine.
I would be interested to know if anyone else is in the same boat. :)
Good morning @LadyCaroline Hope you are well? I have Relapsing Polychondritis. It's something that is clinically diagnosed. I believe it's similar to arthritis but in cartlidge. My ears, nose, eyes, throat and a fancy name for around the heart somewhere. It's my ears that are bad and I can't lie on my side, it's too painful, bloody painful really. No cure, no treatment really unless you count steroids (I can get them anytime to try eliviate the pain), but after a 5/6th attempt the steroids do zilch! It didn't surprise the rheumatologist that they didn't help tho! My eyes on the odd occassion go red, bloodshot red but that part dosnt hurt. Enjoy your day Caroline xxx
