Besides RA I HAVe O.A.,Type 2 diabetes,degenative disc in spine and cervical area, off balance issues and neturapaty in my toes.Its so hard at times but I keep going and praying.
Like they say, autoimmune diseases like to travel with friends. I have RA, DDD, Osteoarthritis, Osteopenia, SA and PMR. I'm sure that's not the whole list. Like so many here I have a pill box full every day. It is just a way of life for me and I do what I can and pray for the best. I know others have it much worse.
I have degenerative disc disease, along with the RA, and some osteoarthritis in my lower back as well. I read somewhere that having one autoimmune condition makes a person more likely to have another one. I guess "misery loves company!"
I have Osteoarthritis and Lupus and Endometriosis. Thankfully the Endometriosis is effecting me less and less as I'm hitting menopause. In my research I have found many references to autoimmune diseases coming in pairs or threes. I pray that this is all for me as I have 3 now. Sending you love and light ❤️ ✨️
