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.

Autoimmune Hypothyroidism here.
Would be very interested in a AI health section.

Yes, but not only the conditions you mention, there are more.

Me to I have itp idiopathic thrombocytopenia low platelets and also premature ovarian failure

God some of these sound fascinating and grim in equal measure!

Yes, another Lupus here.
I think it would also help people with symptons but no diagnosis. There seems to be a lot of posts in general health that sound like AI.

I never expected such a response.

So many of us suffering with different conditions.

Come on Mumsnet, this topic is needed.

RA here so yes please

Just to clear it up, this came about on a very long and drawn out thread about disabled toilet use. This is why there were a lot of us commenting about having IBD.
But of course any and all AI conditions welcome here! I mean I'm sure we don't welcome them in our lives but to discuss here ....

Yes. Hashimoto's thyroiditis and pernicious anaemia here, plus 7 year old daughter with HT, Raynaud's and possible juvenile arthritis.

I'm interested too. I have psoriasis and AS.

I'm another one interested.

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome here

Yes, definitely interested!!

Have been diagnosed with Autoimmune Hypothyroidism and waiting for confirmation of Crohn's Disease.

Life is proving very difficult at the moment so support from others who understand whilst supporting them in return would be fantastic!

Yes. MS.

Hi @piehunter - fellow APSer, I see

Yes please. Ulcerative colitis and raynauds.

Yes. Auto immune thyroid problems here

Yes please. RA and iritis.

Yes please, Uveitis here.

Please make us a place MNHQ!

DellaPorter It's a real joy isn't it!

.

Do we need placards?

Coco, totally agree.

It would be a good place to come for those suffering but as yet, undiagnosed.

The only problem I'm going to have is brain fog and fatigue leaves me absolutely useless at following long threads!!
Can anyone relate ?

Brain fog and fatigue, can definitely relate.
