I have always a weird problem which seems not important because it is not disturbing for my daily life.

But I am really confused and doubt if it is related to any auto-immune diseases---more than ten years ago, I found that my backbone can not straight up when I am sitting (Absolutely others don't have this problem, and when I was a child, I didn't have it, neither. ) My backbone does not hurt, nor I feel painful. Precisely speaking, it is "weak" so that it could not stay straight up but remains "bending"/"curve" when I am sitting because it can not support the force of balance.

I have a cousin who is a ankylosing spondylitis sufferer, and is it possible that I am affected by that related family heritage of auto-immune disease? I am diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Could it be caused by Hypothyroidism?

Thanks
 
I don't know if you have this disorder or not, but I can tell you that I too have several auto-immune disorders, as does my daughter. I have learned that when I am not well, I make sure that I let the Dr. know that I am prone to AI disorders, so that he can check everything for me.

I have Hashimoto's as well, and I also know that the majority of /I disorders, that I have read about, seem to have 1 thing in common...the person already had Hashimoto's disorder. So, it is not unlikly that you could have some type of A/I disorder. Have you seen a Rheumy before? That might not be such a bad idea. Ask what his thoughts are on Rheum. arthritis or about ankylosing.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Sorry...I was talking about a Rhuematologist (sp?). they are the best at dx. auto-immune disorders, involving your bones and joints. They will also be the ones to be treated by, if you have any type of arthritis.
