Immigration and autoimmune disorders


faol

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

We immigrated to Australia from Germany 4 years ago.

After one year both my daughter and myself developed autoimmune disease(thyroid and liver).

I suspect that moving to Australia played trigger role in the disease development.

I also know other people who got autoimmune disease after coming to australia. I checked on internet there is no research done on it, i just wonder if someone else experienced similar problem after moving to Aussie.

I have an autoimmune condition (Scleroderma) but I had it before I moved here. They are known to be triggered - or exacerbated - by stress, so maybe the stress of migrating had an influence on you and your daughter?

 

Possibly yes, I consider also environmental factors, change in food, change of lifestyle..
