    Thanks and wish you heal soon.
  • Forgot to mention that had vitiligo a yr before had type1 diabetes so prob was a sign that summat was up tho doc didn't take anynotice
  • Well. I think anything that set's off my autoimmune system like cuts colds etc will make it worse. So really i don't see the point in getting cream or anything cuz happening from inside. .
  • Hello, Mobs!

    My Vitiligo is quite quite similar to yours, although I don't have diabetes or an underactive thyroid--as far as I know. :) You feel they are all related?
    • yeah. caused by autoimmune attacking the healthy stuff. well since moved here in rugby where it's pretty green, its spreading faster cuz the pollen irritates me, gives me slightly runny nose which comes and not quite goes lot more than where i used to live so probably means that autoimmune still playing havoc non-stop.

      on diabetes daily forum, on a thread i started about having all three, there are some other people with all the same problems.
      • My Vitiligo definitely started after moving to a higher allergy area (Sacramento), but I've never made a connection between the two.
