Yeah, I know..I have Ulcerative Colitis, a “touch” of Crohn’s, according to my GI doc, and Sarcoidosis. They trashed my liver.

In boyhood I started with a rare kidney disease that is autoimmune mediated. I’d have been more than happy to just stick with that one, but I added “probable” ulcerative colitis and atopic dermatitis in recent years, possibly provoked by a med used to treat the kidney disease. The fun thing about autoimmune disease is never knowing what sets it off. Docs don’t know, you don’t know, literally nobody knows. You go through life with a sword of damocles.

That sarcoidosis sounds miserable.
