Immune Disorders and Vitiligo

Posted by Casey on January 9, 2014 at 3:37pm

I was just curious if anyone has been diagnosed with an immune disorder as well as having vitiligo and if so. How long did the diagnosis take? I recently became sick and had quite a few symptoms of different autoimmune disorders, but after seeing the Doctor and getting tons of blood work, cat scans and spending tons of money they haven't found anything. As sad as it may sound I was almost hoping to have something wrong with me. Hoping that I can find the underlying problem to this skin disorder.

      No answers at all. Apparently I'm only dealing with depression/anxiety. I've had many tests ran and nothing physical is found. I'm just dumbfounded because I've never been like this.

    Do you mind if I ask, what is the autoimmune disease?

      At first he thought it was a thyroid issue. Then pointed to many other things such as lupus and celiacs disease. But no diagnosis yet.

    I have thyroid problems as well. My sis also has an autoimmune disease but no vitiligo.

    At the early age of nine I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis an auto immune disease
    But I developed vitiligo at age 50.
