I have several autoimmune diseases. Actually an autoimmune overlap is rather common. I have Systemic Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Hypothyroidism, Sjogrens, Reynauds, Fibro. I know there are quite a few people on the forum with multiple diseases. I had these diagnoses before I ever took any of the Biologics. I actually was dealing with these before Biologics so I know it didn't happen because of the treatment.
It is just every one's decision as to whether the opportunity to improve their life over rides the possibility of decreasing the quality. It was worth it to me.
Just agreeing with Shirley that the diseases to tend to "run in packs". I hope you never get another one also!
Blessings.
