This doesn't really appear to be a question so much as an offer of information. Yes, I, too, have read that several of the chronic autoimmune diseases such as Chrones, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Thyroid Disease, and even Lupus have some similarities. The genetic problems that put a person at risk for one of these diseases also puts the person at risk for other autoimmune diseases.
