I am A Negative and was just diagnosed when lupus and RA. I believe there is a huge connection between autoimmune diseases and being RH negative. My mother died of MS at 29 and my grandmother also had RA. The best of luck to you my friend. Being RH negative can be quite challenging but there are many advantages as well.

Good theory. I am Rh- and ANA+. My mother was diagnosed with lupus and has since passed from alcoholism but I don't know what her blood type was.

I am RH negative and been diagnosed with Lupus, secondary to Sjogrens syndrome, and UCTD. I only made the connection mmyself, after research. My rheumatologists hasn't even ever asked my blood type. But apparently, there is a connection, or seems to be a high probability or link between RH negative people and autoimmune conditions. RHnegative people only take up 15% of the population. And they can not trace the origin of where the DNA molecular structure started. There is currently research being done. But even in this day and age, scientist's know very little about the correlations.

FINALLY someone else having the same thoughts that I do! I have recently noticed symptom flare-ups after relations with my rh+ husband but everyone else I've mentioned it to think I'm nuts!! There MUST be some correlation here.

I am rhesus negative and have Alopecia Totalis.( no hair) I lost my hair 4 years ago and have been told it will never return. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but pretty sure I have Lupus but test negative for this. I'm sure there's a link with all these things.

Hi
I belong to a group on fb for people with pineal cystic tumors and I did a quick poll today wondering if anyone else is rh negative as well. and guess what? a lot of us are!!!!
We get diagnosed with all sorts of other illnesses as well such as eds, pots, dysautonomia, etc.
and the ones who aren't negative have a parent that is negative. Im going to see a endocrinologist in December at the university of iowa and I will be sure to talk to him in depth about this. I think it is because of our rare blood type that we are suffering so much. please add me to your rh- fb page. thanks!!!!!

I've wondered about that. If separate clinical trials should be done for meds for Rh- and Rh+.
I'm O-. Rh- and have many auto immune diseases. Including RA and now possibly lupus too.

I believe the diagnosis of what that gave you a "blank" of I don't know. To me and I've heard doctors say, when outside of their practice that this a generic diagnosis. I hope for your sake you are at least getting some kind of treatment that betters the quality of your life. I'm RH neg and have been sick nearly all my life and I'm 42 now. They love making all the money from sending us to many specialist. It just makes us more ill, running around more, spending money and missing time off work - up the stress and make your patient sicker - it's a thanks for nothing.
