Yes, people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at an increased risk of having other autoimmune diseases, including lupus. About 25 percent of people with RA have one or more additional autoimmune diseases. The most common comorbid autoimmune disease seen with RA is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

I was first diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease with the main component being Lupus, then a year later diagnosed with RA. I had ZERO health issues in my life until I got the original Covid in Jan. 2020. All these autoimmune issues arose after my first Covid infection. Totally NOT liking my "new normal"!!
