List of Autoimmune Disorders
A solid research foundation is critical, but a definitive list is challenging.
Wherever there’s a legend, there’s a controversy. This combination of two authoritative lists illustrates the complexity of determining a comprehensive list of autoimmune diagnoses, and shows how confounding the lack of naming conventions are. Generally speaking, if it’s in bold, then there’s some diagnostic and descriptive consensus. To better understand how this list was compiled, please read my post Searching for a Comprehensive Diagnostic List. If a diagnosis is missing from this list, please leave a comment. If you don’t feel comfortable leaving a public comment, please email me the diagnosis at autoimmunedx@gmail.com
Diagnoses that are linked include more comprehensive information on their description post. Diagnoses that are not linked have templates that will be populated as research progresses and time allows. For more information about Diagnosis Descriptions, please read my post Diagnosis Descriptions, Part 3.

Please look at the terrible disorder that has the hallmarks of autoimmunity, the mostly exclusively mail, POIS. Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome = POIS and orgasm or even sexual stimulation to the point of lubrication will bring on a constellation of symptoms most similar to PEM (Post Exertional Malaise) in M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or cfs).
I was vaccine injured 30 years ago twice and have been bedridden since with severe M.E. and severe POIS , which were both brought on by the vaccine injury.
For whatever (corrupt or dark) reason, there doesn’t seem to be much if any interest in this new and very serious illness which causes many men to commit suicide as one orgasm or just arousal can cause them to be totally unable to do much anything, let alone work for days or weeks at a time.
The Naked-Scientists has a large forum which starts with someone who has M.E. and POIS. There are more and more websites popping up, but attempts to get scientists, MDs involved in researching it seemingly go unheeded.
PLEASE LOOK AT THIS TERRIBLE DISORDER.
WE DESPERATELY NEED HELP!
