I am wondering if a person is more liking to get PMR if they have or have had other autoimmune diseases. For example I also have alopecia (where the hair falls out in spots). I’ve had this for many years. I also have asthma which is also an autoimmune diseases. So I am asking who else had other autoimmune diseases prior to getting PMR?

Shortly, after my first bout of PMR 24 years ago I developed severe allergies. I have bad hayfever and have a host of environmental allergies. I take allergy tabs everyday. I have Raynaud's syndrome and lichen plantus. I am always cold in the winter and when under stress, I break out in lesions similar to cold sores in my mouth. These are all auto immune diseases. My maternal side seems to have a host of auto immune diseases, Crohn's and Hashimoto to Skogjen's. I have recently recovered from a flare up of PMR after 9 months of prednisone.
