Wow, Anika.
I'm sorry things are not going so well for you. It's true that once you have one autoimmune issue you may also have others.

I know this because lots of people with type 1 diabetes (which is autoimmune) also have lupus or CF or other issues, too.
It will all be okay. A lady at my work has lupus but you wouldn't know it at all, the only reason I know is she told me.
And thank you for researching those bulbs. Holy cow!
