I am so sorry you are going through this. My son was recently diagnosed with Graves and yesterday they put him on Methomazole to try to control it.
The DR was asking about history and that and I told her I have autoimmune hepatitis (my immune system attacks my liver) and a few times she said that is interesting. She said that autoimmune disorders can be hereditary but yet we can have different ones. She also said not to be surprised if I or my son ends up with another one someday as it is common to have have more than one autoimmune disorder. She also said that sometimes figuring them out though is another story. Sometimes they are very hard to diagnose and the diagnosis can be named on symptoms only. When I am having an attack steroids are my lifesaver to lower my immune system and stop the attack. To bad the side effects are very nasty.Only once I had to have some chemo to lower it fast.
Have you seen an Immunologist? The first time I was in liver failure in the hospital I had one along with the liver docs. I remember my liver DR telling me the immunologist is the best person to diagnose an autoimmune disorder.
Good luck to you and I pray they can figure out what is going on.
