Thank you for this. Someone a while back tried to tell me it wasn't possible, but I know my autoimmune was triggered by my trauma. The timing of symptoms is too coincidental.

I was so sick about 15 yrs ago that my dr actually did a double stranded DNA test on me for Lupus. I'm lucky, my test was negative. 15 yrs ago, I was also so sick with PTSD too, so I don't doubt this at all....
