Would anyone be interested in a Autoimmune Disease thread in Health?

[VioletLips]

I've asked MN Admin & they've asked that a post a thread on Site Stuff to guage interest.

On a recent thread it appears that they were quite a few of us who have IBD, (Crohn's disease or Ulceritive Colitis) and other conditions either associated with this disease or other AI disorders.

If you'd be interested in this as a new topic under Health please post on here. The more responses this thread gets the more chance of it happening.

Would be good to have a suppprt thread out there.

Absolutely interested!!! Thank you for posting !

Thanks Amokingjay!

Sorry for the typos in the op Multi-tasking!

Yes here from a Crohnie. I'm always whingeing about my ailments I find others' views helpful and comforting.

Tentatively interested - I have a very rare AI disease but it doesn't have much in common with IBD.

Yes please

Hidradenitis suppurativa

Yes :) I've got one or possibly two.

Thank you.

Anyone is welcome, there are lots of conditions under the AI umbrella. Just happened that a few of us on a recent thread have IBD but the more the merrier!

It could be a voice for other hidden chronic illness' too.

Scleroderma, here! Yes please.

I mean yes please, to the thread. Not the scleroderma. I could do without that.

I don't suffer from IBD (et al) but do have a less intrusive AI (psoriasis) but can still be a right pita so would like to vent occasionally (but quietly)

I've the joy of Lupus...

Yes please. I have a couple, including coeliac disease

Oh yes I'm interested in one, I have Rheumatoid arthritis and showing markers for lupus.

Thank you all.

I'm not sure how many of us need to show an interest before this topic gets the go ahead but fingers crossed we can get this up and running.

We can support eachother.

Uh, uh, and coeliac, though there is an area for that.

Yes please, I'd be interested.

I've got neuro-sarcoidosis, or something similar as far as they can tell. But it is an AI disease.

Yep. I'm a UC/Crohnie. With some arthritis thrown in for good measure.

Yes psoriasis here

There are such a wide range of diseases aren't there.

I hope you are all being well looked after by your gp/consultant/surgeon/nurse and are managing your symptoms well.

Absolutely. I've got UC and would like a safe space to talk about poo

I have five AI diseases! (Do I win £5?).

I think this is a great idea. I don't talk about it much Irl, as it's so BORING, but I'd love an online space to whinge chat, as it's unlikely to suddenly all disappear.

Ooh yes! I have antiphospholipid syndrome that affects me significantly day to day and constantly under investigation for further body weirdness..

GoHome, me too. Dp, I'm sure, is sick of me talking shit

Booboo, yes atm you're heading for the big prize
