I have APS or here. I also (barely) survived extremely severe aplastic anemia (bone marrow failure), which may or may not have been autoimmune. (They never did determine for sure if it was due to one of my psych meds or was just really, really bad luck.)

My oldest sister has Crohn's disease and her son has alopecia areata, both autoimmune. All 3 of my sisters plus my mom have hypothyroid.

I do understand the constant running to drs. and the meds and feeling like a lab rat. I'm on blood thinners to deal with the APS and they are such a PITA to regulate that I feel like a pincushion most of the time!
