I found out some interesting things today.
You can have more than one autoimmune disease. In my case I've had lupus for 24 yrs but was diagnosed with sjogrens
disease about 4wks ago. I was told its Mixed Collagen Vascular Disorder.
Collagen is a tough, fiber-like protein that makes up about a third of body protein. It is part the structure of tendons, bones and connective tissues.
Collagen Vascular disease occurs when problems with the immune system affect collagen.
