It has definitely been shown that if you have one autoimmune disease, you are more likely to have more. I have celiac's disease and reynaud's syndrome. They thought I also was dealing with lupus and evan's syndrome. Now, they are starting to rethink the lupus idea and possibly the evan's as well. And, yes, many of the treatments used for AA, can also be used for other autoimmune diseases which, in turn, masks them.
