I Have Lupus

I am a young white male how the hell do I have this disease when it’s way more common in females from other nationalities. I also have Sjögren’s syndrome which has a female/male ratio of 9 to 1. How did I get both of these diseases that is rare for men to get? What is different in my body from other males? My confidence is being effected by all this.

Both things are I seem to think auto-immune system related, sounds like you just got unlucky and got a funked up auto-immune system.

It’s really odd @AntisocialTroll

@JS1992 I have an auto-immune system disease and from what I can gather it's common to have more than one. I reckon it's just one of those things that if it doesn't work properly you can get screwed over by multiple diseases as a result.

@AntisocialTroll yes it sucks!

Are they genetic? And I'm sorry man

It’s all good no need to be sorry. Just me venting and confused. Could be genetics. Just odd that I get both diseases @Nebula
