Vitiligo related to arthritis?

Posted by Jill Casteel on September 11, 2013 at 3:10am in Main

I was diagonosed with Graves about 15 years ago, osteoarthritis about 14 years ago (before the age of 40-which I guess is unusual) and osteoporosis a few years ago (which is hereditary in my case) Anyone else?

    I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis about six or seven years ago and I've had vitiligo nearly all my life.

    I was diagnosed Hypothyroid 26 years ago, Osteoarthritis about 10 years ago, Vitiligo 3 or 4 years ago. I would have to agree with Chrissy, as I have read it is closely linked to other auto immune disorders (namely thyroid disorders).

    I was diagnosed with rhumathoid arthritis when I was 5 (i'm 35 now). I first discovered vitiligo on my face just over two years ago.

    I dont think vitiligo is related to arthritis as much as I think it is related to autoimmune disorders (such as rhumathoid arthritis).
