  1. ..And that ain't all. I noticed, for example, that they did not include Renal-Limited Vasculitis. Also, there are some who contend that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia are true AIDs themselves. But your point is well taken.

  2. ...Plus few biggies tht re usually classified as AIDs:

    Diabetes (Type 1 diabetes, juvenile or autoimmune diabetes)
    Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
    Systemic sclerosis

    Anyway, thanks for bringing to my attention some of the lesser known ones!
