30 years ago i was diagnosed with Graves disease. I was pretty ill for about 6 yrs then i had my thyroid removed which left me with an underactive thyroid but with meds I felt so much better. Fast forward to 12 years ago and I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia, which is another AI disorder. Following this I developed roseaca which I recently found out was AI too. Then back in May I had uveitis and 2 opticians I saw recommended I ask my Dr to test me for AI. The 1st blood test showed raised markers but the GP thought it could've been caused by an infection (which I didn't have). I had the test repeated 3 months later and once again I had raised markers but GP thought it could be caused by my diabetes. I'm sure I've got autoimmune disease but I just can't get my Dr to commit to a diagnosis. What can I do without sounding like a hypochondriac?
