Does anyone suffer from autoimmune diseases?

Question

Currently I’m going through a whole shit show of things involving autoimmune diseases. I feel so alone in it because I don’t know anyone that suffers from them. I’m currently being diagnosed but have been suffering over 7 years. I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences?? I’d love to know your story if you go through this

Answer

I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease at age 27, conceived my son at 33 (after 5mo of ttc).   During my pregnancy I saw my local OB, a high-risk OB, and my immunologist worked with the OBs.   During my first trimester I did experience frequent flare ups, but during the rest of my pregnancy I had some level of remission.   My son was born 3wks early due to my developing preeclampsia, but he was and always has been very healthy :)  My advice would be to have your OB consult with your specialist during your pregnancy, it made things much less stressful in my experience.
