I don't even know if this is an autoimmune disorder. I have alopecia areata, a positive ana test, fibromyalgia, bipolar, chronic headaches, restless leg syndrome,weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, TMJ, IBS, Insomnia, edema, epilepsy, memory problems and the only thing in my family's history that I can think of is hypothyroidism, heart problems, and diabetes also Chronic Fatigue Disorder. What could be the cause of all this? Especially the alopecia areata, positive ana test, weight gain and edema. My doc hasn't figured it out yet. The alopecia is a new one. Going to appt. tomorrow.
