When this happens, they are said to have overlap syndrome. Overlapping autoimmune disease is common in SLE diagnosis. There are some common overlapping diseases associated with lupus, they include but are not limited to: Scleroderma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, Raynaud’s Syndrome, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Autoimmune thyroid disease, Celiac disease, Myasthenia gravis, Antiphospholipid syndrome, Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis and Fibromyalgia.
