MT, my pain management (medical) consists of two pain pills per day. I tough it out through the day, one before dinner and one at bedtime. It’s unbearable without them. And like Jimmie5 says, there is a percentage that do have one or more autoimmune issues. Have had an oncology nurse tell me that this is really not that uncommon. My eye specialist tells me I have bad karma, hahaha. Truthfully, I love the guy, he’s taken good care of my eyes.

They say 5 to 10 % can get autoimmune problems .

I began with autoimmune issues. The first was UCTD followed by hyperthyroidism and TED. I also have arthritis, sjogrens disease and Fibromyalgia. Then came the cll.

I agree

I believe autoimmune disease plays a part in my issues. I believe my rheumatologist mentioned this to me. God Bless, Joanel
