Like lupus, etc.? My old DX of Crohns disease puts me at added risk,
as does my extensive arthritis. The DX of Crohns may not be accurate
as I never had a biopsy, and since my DX over twenty years ago,
ulcerative colitis has been noted in multiple family members. My
symptoms are more consistent with colitis than Crohns, and I haven't
had a flare for decades.
