Josmatjes Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hi, my husband has vitiligo. For those of you that don't know what this is, it's a autoimmune disease and he has spots on his face and body where there is no more pigment..think Michael Jackson but not as bad. Anyway it also causes extreme fatique in him. Does anyone have this or know someone who does? And if so do they have any home remedies or medications or solutions for this problem. Thank you...

I have never heard of fatigue being associated with vitiligo and nothing is mentioned in the write up from the Mayo Clinic. So you should probably assume that the fatigue is occurring for some other reason. Vitiligo Definition - Diseases and Conditions - Mayo Clinic According to wiki Autoimmune diseases such as Addison's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and type 1 diabetes mellitus tend to occur more often in people who have vitiligo Link to post Share on other sites
Author Josmatjes Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 We've seen two dermatologists and they say nothing can be done. As far as fatique, that is part of an autoimmune disease. I actually just read it the other day... Link to post Share on other sites
