Don't Forget That Autoimmune Diseases Run In Packs

My mom was just diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. We don't yet know what organs it's affecting; she hasn't had any testing yet. (It was diagnosed from a biopsy of a growth on her leg.)

I guess I just wanted to put out a general reminder that when one autoimmune disease is present, there is a somewhat higher chance of developing another.

I've been looking around for a good website and message forum, and have yet to find anything that measures up to this one in organization and activity. Has anyone come across anything?

Also, anyone who has experience with, or has done any reading on Sarcoidosis, please feel free to share what you know!

Thanks!

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this, and what you’re describing is very real—even if other people can’t see it. Many kids and teens with celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions can have chronic joint and body pain, fatigue, and flares that come and go, which is exactly why it can look “fine one day and awful the next.” That doesn’t mean you’re...

      Medications

      Don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch,. as they say. Many health care professionals are doing their jobs the best they can, so it's important to try to work with them in a respectful manner, if when they might be wrong about something.

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

      Insomnia help

      Yes I saw. After reading the book I quickly became overwhelmed with that type of protocol. Unfortunately for me it seems unrealistic to eat with those guidelines. And I also find some of the information hard to understand and follow. I appreciate the recommendation though.

Many kids and teens with celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions can have chronic joint and body pain, fatigue, and flares that come and go, which is exactly why it can look “fine one day and awful the next.” That doesn’t mean you’re faking anything. You deserve to be believed and supported, especially at school and at home. It may help to talk with a gastroenterologist or rheumatologist who understands autoimmune pain in teens, and to let a trusted adult help advocate for accommodations when you need them. Wanting to feel like a normal kid makes complete sense—and you’re not alone in feeling this way.
