Just diagnosed/RA and I have Muscular Dystrophy

I was diagnosed w/Graves’ in 2013; and have had multiple spinal and cervical surgeries, in 2022 I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. Last week, I I finally got the results back from my rheumatologist and I was told I have Rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögrens disease. So it seems like I hit the “disease lottery” when it comes to what was passed down to me.. I spoke with my mother and asked her why I couldn’t have inherited a nice string of pearls instead, or one of her designer bags? I would’ve been really pleased with that! 😂🤣
