Sorry to hear about your autoimmune disease issues. There's a lot of new work into improving this with things like high dose probiotics and faecal transplants. It seems that for some people, improving their gut health is the key. I don't know if this would apply to you but it may be worth looking into. I have made significant improvements to my health by adding Babushka kefir drinking yoghurt, green smoothies (apple, banana, kiwi fruit and kale with a teaspoon of hemp oil), and organic grass fed meat. I've also ditched alcohol and just about every kind of processed food.
Good luck with your continuing recovery.
