Does anyone have an automimmune disease, >> I have a chronic lung ailment called bronchiectasis.... my immune system cannot fight off bacterium called mycobacterium avium that almost anyone else's immune system can handle easily (we all come into contact with that bacterium - my immune system cannot handle it, unfortunately, so it has set up " housekeeping " in my right lung, causing scarring and inflammation). My mother had this disease. Interestingly, my father had rosacea! I managed to get all! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my rosacea and my migraines began to plague me when I was in my early 30's, and I've always suspected there was a link between the two conditions, especially because I have a number of food allergies (chocolate, in paticular) that trigger both ailments. And I also get the " tandem curse " during PMS time --- the flushing starts, the migraine begins, rosacea spots pop up on my cheeks and chin, and it's misery time all around.......
