It usually occurs by itself, but it can co-exist with other autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus or antiphospholipid (APL) syndrome.     Signs and Symptoms: From MoonDragon.org Fatigue Abdominal discomfort Aching joints Itching Jaundice Enlarged liver Spider angiomas (tumors) on the skin   Links of Interest:   MoonDragon.org   University of Maryland Medical Center    Recommended Reading:     Subscribe to "Conquering Autoimmunity" - This monthly ezine provides up-to-the-minute research, tips to help you regain control of your life, healthy recipes and much more.
